History[edit]

In 2010, Virgin Super launched the Virgin Super Baby Break, meaning Australian parents are exempt from super fees whilst they are on maternity or paternity leave.

In 2016, Virgin announced that it had folded its struggling super fund into the Mercer Super Trust. The fund would continue to use the Virgin Money Australia brand.[2]
