SuperFriend is supported by many of Australia's leading profit-to-member super funds and group insurers who share their vision of reducing mental health stigma, improving worker mental health, and helping people to thrive.

Insights

SuperFriend also runs Australia's largest workplace mental health study through its Indicators of a Thriving Workplace study. Conducted annually, the study explores factors that improve and detract from worker mental health, incorporating the views of more than 10,000 workers in a broad range of industries and role types.

Advocacy

A key part of SuperFriend's mission is to tackle the underlying systemic issues that disadvantage people with mental illness.

They work with their financial services partners to improve outcomes for people making mental health claims, also advocating for fair and inclusive and insurance product design.

SuperFriend is also part of several national mental health alliances and working groups, Government forums, and financial services advisory panels.
