Established over 25 years ago, Statewide Super was traditionally made for residents of South Australia. While it is still 100% South Australian owned and operated, it is now an open super fund, which means people outside the state can still enjoy the great member benefits.

As an industry super fund, Statewide Super is a non-for-profit organisation that exists for the benefit of members. Its goal is to maximise retirement benefits for members by providing quality superannuation, retirement, education and financial services.

Statewide Super is also proud to offer sustainable investments, and is constantly adapting and changing to ensure the way it invests will have an ongoing impact on the environment, society and economy.
