The union movement and AustralianSuper
Australian unions fought hard and won universal super for working Australians.The right of every Australian worker to have their own super account, only exists because of the efforts of unions and its members from the 1960s through to the 1980s and still to this day.
AustralianSuper was created on 1 July 2006 through the merger of Australian Retirement Fund (ARF) and the Superannuation Trust of Australia (STA).
Our purpose is to help members achieve the best possible retirement outcome.
The ability to leverage the Fund’s scale helps reduce the overall cost of investing, and provides unique access to attractive, large scale investment opportunities, which have delivered strong long-term investment returns and helped us keep fees low.
