Media Super doubles investment in local film and television production to $60 million 

Industry super fund for the creative community Media Super has announced the doubling of its revolving loan fund for Australian film and TV production, from $30 million to $60 million. 

When you belong to a super fund that's run to benefit you and only you, you're in good hands.

There are just a couple of weeks until the Walkley Foundation's Brisbane storytelling conference on August 4 - 6. Tickets for all announced events are now on sale, including the exclusive Art, Science – and Scandal! – of Storytelling in the Digital Age with international superstar Noah Rosenberg.

Media Super has today lost a stalwart of our community, with the death of Geoff Brown, a former Trustee Director of Media Super and one of its predecessor funds, JUST Super.

The Diversified Alternatives single asset class investment option is now closed to members.

From 1 August 2015, the Investment Guide, Pensions PDS and other documents and materials will be updated to reflect this change.

It’s now even easier to manage your Media Super pension (including Transition To Retirement) through your online account. You can now vary the amount and frequency of your pension payments, as well as request a copy of your Centrelink schedule.
