The Voice: Influencing Legislative & Regulatory Change

ASFONZ is nationally recognised as the voice of workplace super.

ASFONZ is frequently involved with consultation on legislative and regulatory change.  We engage with working groups and feedback forums, which provide us valuable opportunities to express the industry's views at critical and formative stages of policy decision-making.

ASFONZ's network of contacts and our focus on building great relationships with key decision-makers continues to ensure the industry's voice is heard.
