About the merger
Australian Retirement Trust is the super fund that was created when Sunsuper and QSuper merged on 28 February 2022.
We're one of Australia's largest super funds, and we're proud that 2.3 million members trust us to take care of close to $300 billion in retirement savings.
As a profit-for-members super fund and an industry super fund, we don’t pay shareholders – which means we can give back profits to members as lower fees and better services.
We're here to help our members retire well with confidence. So we're focused on strong long-term investment returns, low fees, and the information and access to advice you need to manage your super and retirement.
We use our size and our scale to find and make investments to grow members’ superannuation savings and help maximise their retirement income.
We also consider the risks and opportunities of investments in a holistic way. This means including the financial implications of environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues alongside traditional financial matters. We believe this helps us make better long-term decisions for our members’ retirement outcomes.
All Sunsuper and QSuper members are now Australian Retirement Trust members – and we're open for all Australians to join. Wherever you are, and wherever you’re at, we’re here to help you feel secure, confident, and protected in retirement. Join today.
On 28 February 2022, Sunsuper and QSuper merged to become one super fund: Australian Retirement Trust.
Sunsuper and QSuper were two of Australia's largest profit-for-members super funds before we merged in 2022.
QSuper was established in 1913 to help Queensland Government employees achieve better financial futures.
In 1987, Sunsuper started as a Queensland-based, multi-industry fund with a genuine desire to give members a financially comfortable retirement.
After the merger, all Sunsuper and QSuper members became ART members.
With our combined history – and our size, strength, and scale as one of Australia's largest super funds – we will continue both Sunsuper's and QSuper's focus on working for members. We aim to find and make bigger investments, drive down investment costs, and do things smarter by bringing our administration capabilities together.
Our headquarters for Australian Retirement Trust are in Meeanjin, in the Brisbane CBD – but we have a national presence.
In 2023, we now have offices in Meeanjin (Brisbane), Warrane (Sydney), and Narrm (Melbourne).
Many of our team live and work on the lands of the Turrbal, Yuggera, Gadigal, Boon Wurrung, and Woiwurrung (Wurundjeri) peoples of the Kulin Nation.
