Who looks after your super?

Board of Directors

Catholic Super is governed by CSF Pty Limited ABN 30 006 169 286 as Trustee of the Catholic Superannuation Fund ABN 50 237 896 957. Trustee Directors are ultimately responsible for administering the Fund in accordance with the law and the Fund’s Trust Deed.

The Board has ten Directors. Each Director is elected by the members and employers of Catholic Super, five to represent members and five to represent employers. This ensures that all decisions are based on a balance of views.

The Catholic Super Board meets at least eleven times a year and the term of office of each Director is six years. Elections are decided on a first-past-the-post basis. The nominee who receives the most votes is elected.

Daniel Sexton and Father Michael Morgan resigned their positions. Both of them represented Employers. Marcia Clohesy resigned as a Director representing Members and successfully stood for one of the vacant Employer Representative positions. Brian Reed was the successful candidate for the remaining Employer Representative position and John Connors was elected to the Member Representative position vacated by Marcia Clohesy.
