Who we are

​The Retirement Benefits Fund (RBF) has managed super for Tasmanian public sector employees since 1904, providing superannuation administration and member services to Tasmanian public sector employees and their spouses who hold a defined benefit account or pension.

The trustee of the Fund is the Superannuation Commission (Commission), which was established effective 1 April 2017 to oversee the administration of the public sector defined benefit schemes in Tasmania. 

The day to day running of the defined benefit schemes is managed by the Office of the Superannuation Commission, within the Department of Treasury and Finance.

  • the Public Sector Superannuation Reform Act 2016,

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

The Commission undertakes a range of activities to provide member services and solutions, manage investments and finance and provide product operational support. The Commission is also responsible for the administration of the Fund, which is comprised of all of the assets, including investments, accounts and sub funds, of the Retirement Benefits Fund.
