Women in Australia retire with an average 23% less retirement savings than men. That’s a real super gender gap. Our financial lives can be quite complex, however many of us don’t know who to turn to for support in a financial services industry that wasn’t built with us in mind. That’s why we created Verve a community for women, men & non-binary folk who believe in our mission of closing the super gap.

Most importantly, she looked forward to a life free of violence. Then, on a dark lonely highway, she was killed. Her name is Courtney Paige Anderson. She was only 28.

Today, her mum Lee-Ann, dad Don and stepmum Kristy walk us through the battle to get Justice for Courtney.
