Who we are
We are dedicated to standing by you through both good times and challenging moments. As Australia’s largest superannuation fund¹, we have a proud history deeply rooted in the Union movement.
We are committed to supporting you through every stage of your super journey. Our foundation in the union movement shapes our member-first approach and drives our dedication to creating positive retirement outcomes for all Australians.
The collaborative spirit that defined the early union campaigns for universal superannuation continues to inspire how we work today. We value the strong partnership we've built with union delegates and members across Australia and remain focused on delivering consistent, long-term results for members.
Together, we're working toward a future where every Australian has the opportunity to thrive in retirement. Our inclusive approach and focus on accessibility reflect the solidarity principles that have always been central to both the union movement and our fund.

Our support of the union movement
Australian unions have a proud history of championing superannuation for all working Australians.
The right of every Australian worker to have their own super account is a result of the tireless efforts of unions and their members campaigning for a universal superannuation system from the 1960s through to the 1980s, and this campaigning to maintain a strong and robust system that supports all members continues today.
AustralianSuper was established on 1 July 2006, following the merger of the Australian Retirement Fund (ARF) and the Superannuation Trust of Australia (STA). Our mission is to help members achieve the best possible retirement outcome.
By leveraging the scale of our fund, we can better manage investment costs and gain access to unlisted, large-scale investment opportunities. These advantages have helped to deliver a history of strong long-term returns and help us keep low admin fees.
