We care about helping our members and the communities we live in. We do this by partnering with community organisations that make a positive impact, and choosing corporate sponsorships that grow our fund to benefit members.
We look for partners who share our values, are trusted within the community, and can help us become Australia's most trusted retirement partner.
As one of Australia’s largest super funds, we’re working to:
Help our members understand their super and build a better financial future
Champion our members’ financial wellbeing by advocating for better public policy
Partner with organisations who make a positive impact for vulnerable members
Increase awareness of ART to grow our fund and benefit members
We take our corporate and social responsibility seriously. Meaningful, sustainable partnerships are one way we’re working to improve the overall financial wellbeing of our members, their families and communities.
We know that helping the next generation to find financial security starts with education.
That's why we support Cashed Up, a financial life skills program by Financial Basics Foundation. It teaches 12-24 year-olds how to manage their money and finances, so they can build wealth over their working lives.
Learn about Cashed UpWe're working to improve economic fairness for the First Nations people we serve.
That's why we've partnered with the First Nations Foundation. The Foundation helps First Nations people build financial literacy and confidence so they can thrive and prosper.
Find First Nations Foundation projectsWe sponsor specialist partnerships in education, emergency services, and health care that make a vital and positive impact on vulnerable people.
These partnerships not only help our community; they’re also one way we can support members with QSuper accounts who work in these important industries.

We partner with Women in Super's campaign to Make Super Fair, which advocates for the government to improve economic security for women in super and retirement.

Riverfire by Australian Retirement Trust will open the 2024 Brisbane Festival on Saturday 31 August.
For more information, see the Brisbane Festival website.
Continuing to grow the fund is a key focus for ART, because size and scale are important to unlocking benefits for our members.
More than 500,000 people came to Riverfire in 2023, and sponsoring Riverfire helps a lot of people discover our super fund.
As we grow, we aim to return the benefits of our size to members through greater investment opportunities, lower fees, and enhanced services. All of that helps give our members a better retirement.
Queensland is also where around 40% of our 2.4 million members live, so boosting the region's economy can be valuable to our members' retirement.
Sponsoring Riverfire has benefited both the community in Queensland and our members at Australian Retirement Trust.
In 2023, Brisbane Festival delivered more than $46 million of gross economic benefit to Queensland. The festival attracted more than 112,000 visitors to Brisbane and delivered an increase of 39% of overnight visitor expenditure from 2022.
To help achieve our growth ambitions, we invest in a range of national marketing activities such as advertising, sponsorships (like Riverfire), events, and community partnerships. The extensive, state-wide media attention that Riverfire gets helps us raise awareness of Australian Retirement Trust. That then helps us attract new members and encourage existing members to stay with us.
Before we sponsor any activity, we thoroughly review and assess it against a range of criteria to ensure it is in our members’ best financial interests.
We work hard to help members who are experiencing difficult situations such as disability, financial hardship, domestic and family violence (DFV), English as a second language, living in remote areas, not having access to the usual ID documents, etc.
