AustralianSuper Graduate Programs & Internships

Our story began more than 30 years ago, with the creation of universal superannuation for all Australians. Since then, we’ve become Australia’s largest super fund and one of the largest pension funds in the world – an advantage we use on behalf of members every day.

We’re committed to members

Our purpose is singular and clear – to help members achieve their best financial position in retirement.

As a profit-to-member organisation, membership is more to us than just an annual statement. We’re committed to giving members the peace of mind they need to enjoy life today, knowing their savings are being managed by a super fund that delivers.

We do this by creating meaningful value for members and our communities.

Who we are

At AustralianSuper, all colleagues live by our values of Integrity, Excellent Outcomes, Generosity of Spirit and Energy, governed by the principle of ‘Members First’.

As we’ve grown, we’ve continued to attract diverse new high performing colleagues that challenge our thinking, deliver outstanding member outcomes and, most importantly, share in our purpose.

Internship programs

Running for eight weeks from December to February, AustralianSuper internships offer participants unrivalled exposure to our award-winning teams, with the opportunity to work on real world projects and initiatives, whilst gaining exposure to senior business leaders.

We have two internship streams:

  • Our Fund-wide internships partner participants with our member growth and experience teams, who passionately engage, service and grow the Fund’s membership, or the enterprise teams who expertly enable the efficient running of the Fund, including our technology, data, risk, and strategy functions.
  • Our Investments internships immerse participants into what is fast becoming one of the world’s largest active fund managers. As part of our global platform, you’ll be able to work with and learn from our equities, private markets, fixed income or asset allocation and research teams.

Successful completion of our internship program can lead to an offer to join our two-year, rotation-based graduate program.

Graduate programs

By building your career with AustralianSuper, you’ll develop lifelong capabilities while helping us positively impact the future of all Australians.

Like our internships, our graduate program has a Fund-wide stream and an Investments stream, both providing graduates with the opportunity to rotate through a number of teams across a 24-month journey.

During your rotations you will participate in various development opportunities that will build the required skills and capabilities that will set you up for a successful career far beyond the graduate experience.

You will be fully supported along your journey as a graduate at AustralianSuper. As part of the program, you will have access to both buddies and a range of mentors that will assist in your growth and development.

The exciting opportunities as a graduate at AustralianSuper is endless and will include;

  • Access to leaders across the business
  • Networking opportunities
  • Specific technical training where required
  • Mentors and buddies
  • Coaching and feedback
  • Online learning and support
  • Regular face-to-face and virtual workshops

Fund-wide stream

The Fund-wide stream incorporates three rotations (two core and one elective), providing you with the opportunity to further explore your interests and expertise. Rotations are currently offered across Finance, Operations, Risk, Strategy, Project Delivery, Brand, Technology, Member and Corporate Affairs. Following the completion of the Fund-wide Graduate Program, you will continue your AustralianSuper journey in an on-going permanent role.

Investments stream

The Investments stream incorporates two rotations with graduates spending time with different asset class teams (this may include equities, infrastructure, fixed income assets and property). After the completion of the Investments Graduate Program, you will continue your AustralianSuper journey as an Analyst within one of the Investment teams.
