As a healthcare worker, you spend your working life taking care of people. Queensland’s oldest superannuation fund, QSuper also looks after thousands of people like you. In fact, today QSuper manages the retirement savings of more than 114,000 Queensland healthcare workers[1] to help them achieve a better financial future.
When looking for the right super fund for you, fees and proven performance over time are two of the biggest factors to consider.

Lower fees mean more money for your retirement
Super funds have different fees, and they can all affect your superannuation balance now and into retirement. But it’s important to compare apples with apples, so when you’re comparing one super fund with another, be sure to take into account all the fees and costs that apply. QSuper makes it as simple as possible to understand the fees that apply to its members’ accounts. Unlike many other super funds, QSuper doesn’t charge entry or exit fees, or fees to switch investments.
Independent ratings agencies are also a trusted source of information when it comes to value-for-money. They compare a range of funds, considering all the fees and costs that apply.
You might be interested to know that independent ratings agency SuperRatings has awarded QSuper the Platinum ‘Best Value for Money’ rating 10 years in a row[2], giving QSuper members confidence they are getting good value for money. In fact, QSuper’s focus on striving to keep fees low means its members benefit from one of the lowest administration fees in the country[3].
Look for proven performance
You spend your working life looking after others, so it’s important to feel confident that your super savings are in safe hands. According to ASIC’s Money Smart website, picking a fund that has performed well over the past five years is a better choice than chasing last year’s best performer. After all, super is a long-term investment built over a lifetime, which is why you should trust 10 years of performance, not one.
QSuper’s Balanced option has continued to post positive returns, both over the last financial year and over the longer term. According to Chant West, QSuper is in the top 10 performing growth funds in Australia over the 10 years to June 2018[4]. QSuper members can feel confident knowing it aims to deliver strong, consistent long-term returns with fewer ups and downs along the way[5].
