Allowing couples to have joint super accounts is being recommended by major funds and consulting funds as part of a bid to overcome the gender income gap in retirement

Among the consulting firm's recommendations was the introduction of couples' super accounts, which would treat retirement finances from a household perspective rather than at an individual level.

RiceWarner has also suggested joint accounts as a way to reduce the number of super accounts, remove unnecessary costs and help "reduce the female retirement savings shortfall as couples would plan their retirement finances together". The SMSF Association, representing the self-managed super fund sector, also backs the proposal for joint accounts to be an option extended to all super funds, saying that as couples make decisions together - often involving one partner sacrificing to support the other - this should be how the system works.
