description: "This is a special podcast episode - one of a two-part series - marking International Women’s Day 2026. I am joined by Natalie Previtera, CEO of NGS Super, and we focus on the United Nations theme for 2026, “Balancing the Scales” and what that means for women’s superannuation in Australia.\n\nNatalie shares both her professional insights and her personal story. We talk about leadership, confidence, Jon Bon Jovi, and how to bridge the 'Super Gap'. Women continue to retire with less super than men, driven by career breaks, part time work, caring responsibilities and the gender pay gap."

This is a special podcast episode - one of a two-part series - marking International Women’s Day 2026. I am joined by Natalie Previtera, CEO of NGS Super, and we focus on the United Nations theme for 2026, “Balancing the Scales” and what that means for women’s superannuation in Australia.
Natalie shares both her professional insights and her personal story. We talk about leadership, confidence, Jon Bon Jovi, and how to bridge the 'Super Gap'. Women continue to retire with less super than men, driven by career breaks, part time work, caring responsibilities and the gender pay gap.
Together we unpack the super gap, the confidence gap that can sit behind it, and four practical ways to strengthen your super:
• Understand your fund, and consider making additional super contributions if this is appropriate for you.
• Consolidate multiple accounts where appropriate.
• Take appropriate risk aligned to your risk appetite and your timeframe.
• Review your insurance inside super and ensure it reflects your needs.
So this international Women's Day, Invest in yourself. Your super fund is likely to be your biggest asset that is entirely in your own name, so take the time to familiarise yourself with your super fund, identify what is working and what is not, and as a minimum - take one proactive step to learn something more - that can help you bridge the Super Gap.
Let's take some steps to Balance the Scales, and start building up more retirement savings in our own name.
