Who we are

The Retirement Benefits Fund (RBF) has been looking after superannuation for Tasmanian public sector employees since 1904. It provides support and services to members and their spouses who have a defined benefit account or pension.

Since 1 April 2017, the Fund has been overseen by the Superannuation Commission. The Commission is responsible for managing Tasmania’s public sector defined benefit schemes.

Day-to-day operations are handled by the Office of the Superannuation Commission, which is part of the Department of Treasury and Finance.

​The office provides high level support to the Commission in undertaking its statutory functions under:

  • the Public Sector Superannuation Reform Act 2016,

  • the Public Sector Superannuation Reform Regulations 2017,

  • and the Public Sector Superannuation Reform (Parliamentary Superannuation) Regulations 2016.

The Commission manages member services, investments, finances, and the overall administration of the Fund, which includes all assets, accounts, and sub-funds.

RBF provides in-person support and clear, helpful information to members about their benefits and options.

RBF consists of the following schemes:

  • Contributory Scheme;

  • State Fire Commission Supera​nnuation Scheme;

  • Tasmanian Ambulance Service Superannuation Scheme;

  • Parliamentary Superannuation Fund; and

  • Parliamentary Retiring Benefits Fund.

Membership is subject to the governing rules of the schemes.​
