Merger updates

Here’s where you’ll find the latest news and information about our merger with Active Super.

Based in Melbourne, Vision Super was founded in 1947 for Victorian local government and authorities’ workers and has been open to the public since 2006. Like us, they are a profit-to-member fund of a similar size and with shared values.

The merger will create a fund that is double Active Super’s current size, and we’re excited about the benefits this additional scale, combined expertise and improved efficiencies can bring. The aim of the merger is to continue to deliver strong long-term investment performance for our members, while driving down costs and fees. Service, of course, continues to be a priority, including for our members in regional areas.

Mergers are complex and careful planning is needed to ensure a seamless integration of investment and insurance offerings, as well as the centralisation of administration systems.

We have extended the scheduled merger completion date by a few months to ensure a smooth and secure transition for our members.

This will be a decision for the new Board to consider following the merger. For now, we will be keeping both the Vision Super and Active Super brands.

Will I still have only access to my accounts?

Will my pension payments be affected?

Will my Binding Death Benefit Nominations transfer over?

The final phase of work has begun to bring the two funds together and you can expect to start receiving communications from December. We’ll also be posting Frequently Asked Questions and other information on the Active Super website as we get closer to the merger.

Please take a moment to check we have the correct contact details for you, so we can keep you informed
throughout the merger process.

Then keep an eye on your inbox or letter box for next steps. You will receive information via the communication channel you have selected in Member Online.

Moving forward there will be some changes to the way the fund operates, so it’s important that we can
reach you.
