First State Super and Health Super merge on 30 June 2011

Back in November 2010, First State Super announced that it was intending to merge Health Super.

After a thorough investigation process (due diligence), the Trustee Board of both funds agreed to that a merger was in the best interests of members.

The official merger date of First State Super and Health Super was 30 June 2011. However, we don’t expect the two funds to be fully integrated until the end of 2012.

The combined First State Super and Health Super fund will have over $30 billion under management and some 770,000 members.

The merged fund will provide members with continued low costs, improved insurance benefits and access to high quality member and employer services.

About Health Super

Based in Victoria, Health Super’s membership is across the healthcare and community services sectors. It is an all profits to members super fund with $9 billion in assets and more than 210,000 members.

Health Super is a good fit with us, and we believe that the merger is in the best interests of all members.

Business as usual

There is nothing you need to do. It is business as usual at First State Super and our members and employers will continue to receive the high level service they have come to expect.
