HESTA: About us
HESTA are an industry super fund dedicated to people working in health and community services.
“We’d been discussing what projects we had coming up that we needed to go and buy materials for and I was stressed because I only have a very limited income and I don't know where more money is going to come from. And so then the scholarship came and it was just a sigh of relief.”
