SuperFriend is an initiative of the Industry Funds Forum Mental Health Foundation. It is a nation-wide initiative and is aimed at improving the health and wellbeing of industry superannuation fund members. SuperFriend's programs are aimed at early prevention and response. The program's goal is to reduce the incidence of suicide and the impact of mental illness on individuals, workplaces, friends and families.

Developed through a partnership of industry superannuation funds concerned about member health, SuperFriend brings together partners from the superannuation funds, insurers and mental health organisations to offer resources that appeal to members and assist with seeking early help.

The SuperFriend Foundation also provides the delivery of a specifically tailored call centre training module for various super funds to support staff in identifying members at risk and responding appropriately with referrals, resources and claims management. The Foundation is also involved in ongoing research about mental illness.

AustSafe Super is a member of the Industry Funds Forum and is proud to support SuperFriend.
