HESTA, or the Health Employees Superannuation Trust Australia, is an industry super fund that aims to support both its members and women more broadly through its advocacy and investment. Founded in 1987, HESTA today has more than 860,000 members, 80% of whom are women.
While HESTA was created to provide superannuation services specifically for people working in health and community services, as a regulated public offer super fund, HESTA is open to anyone eligible for super to join and is run only to benefit members. HESTA has both accumulation and income stream (pension) superannuation products available.
