Did you know your super is supporting medical breakthroughs?

Since the emergence of COVID-19, we’ve never been more aware of the crucial role vaccines play in protecting us from deadly diseases. But what if we could receive our vaccination without having to have a needle?

Vaxxas

Hostplus is proud to invest in Vaxxas, an Australian medical technology company that has designed a needle-free vaccination device.  It works by enabling the vaccine to be printed onto a patch that’s applied to the skin. As well as the benefit of not requiring a needle, the patch also doesn’t need refrigeration, which significantly reduces the cost and complexity of shipping temperature-dependent vaccines around the world. This could be a game-changer in the world of medical research and we are extremely proud to back it.   

The positive impact of your super 

If you’re invested in our Balanced  (MySuper) option, some of your money may be invested in companies like Vaxxas, and helping to enhance the performance of existing and next-generation vaccines.1
