Yes, back when we were Sunsuper, we were an industry fund. That didn't change when Sunsuper and QSuper merged in 2022 to become Australian Retirement Trust.
Our Super Savings members still have the same benefits. But they’re boosted by the size, strength, and scale of being one of Australia’s largest superannuation funds.
We're a public offer fund, which means our Super Savings products are open to everyone.
And if you have a QSuper account, you still enjoy the same account features you’re used to. Plus you’re now part of an industry super fund.
Yes, they are. With our QSuper accounts, employees of the Queensland Government can enjoy being with an industry fund, as part of Australian Retirement Trust.
We're registered with APRA. And we're a registrable superannuation entity (RSE).
So, you can have peace of mind knowing your super's safe with us.
We're not a self-managed super fund (SMSF). Instead, we're regulated by APRA.

If you like what industry funds offer, you'll still need to make sure you're choosing the best fund for you.
Industry fund services aren't all the same. There can be big differences in things like member support, financial advice options, performance, and fees.
Check out what to look for when picking the best fund for you.
Industry super funds in Australia are one of a few types of superannuation funds. The most common types are:
- Retail funds that are run for-profit
- Public sector funds for government employees
- Corporate funds that are only for people working for a certain employer
- Self-managed super funds (SMSFs)

It depends. Anyone can join Australian Retirement Trust, and the bigger industry funds.
But some of the smaller funds focus on certain industries. So if you’re not working in those industries, they might not let you join them.
