Nambawan Super Limited has supported teachers during the Teaching Service Commission’s Resumption of Duty Programme, joining about 3,000 educators at Lae Secondary School in Morobe province.
The event marked Nambawan Super’s first member engagement activity for 2026 and reflected the fund’s commitment to delivering superannuation education and services directly to members, particularly teachers, ahead of the new school year.
The fund said teachers often face challenges in managing superannuation matters due to heavy workloads and postings in rural and remote communities, limiting their access to financial services.
During the programme, Nambawan Super’s Chief Member Services Officer, George Panao, encouraged teachers to take an active role in managing their superannuation by updating beneficiary details and personal information.
He highlighted the range of digital services available to members, including the Online Member Portal, mobile app, SMS balance check service and the free call centre service on 180 1599, as well as email support via CallCentre@nambawansuper.com.pg.
These services are designed to improve access and support, enabling members to make informed decisions toward a secure and comfortable retirement.
Following the resumption programme, Nambawan Super set up a general member enquiry booth to assist teachers with updating their details and addressing superannuation-related queries before they returned to their schools and respective postings.
Although unable to attend the event, Nambawan Super Chief Executive Officer Lachlan Baird acknowledged the critical role teachers play nationwide.
“Teachers play a central role in shaping Papua New Guinea’s future human resources and often have limited time to focus on their own financial and retirement planning,” Baird said.
“Through our partnership with the Teaching Service Commission, Nambawan Super can engage directly with teachers at key events, ensuring they are informed and supported.”
Baird also congratulated Maini Ugaia on his recent appointment as acting chairman of the Teaching Service Commission, acknowledging his contribution through the Nambawan Super Membership Committee in representing teachers and members nationwide.
Building on the success of its 2025 member engagement activities, Nambawan Super said it will continue rolling out member engagement and education initiatives through its Financial Literacy Programme in 2026.
