Closed public sector scheme
Retirement Benefits Fund
RBF retains defined benefit and pension arrangements for eligible Tasmanian public sector members.
THE OVERVIEW
About Retirement Benefits Fund
The contributory scheme generally excludes employees appointed from 15 May 1999. Earlier service and continuing membership can determine which rights remain available.
Who can join
Existing members, preserved members and eligible pensioners should check their particular membership category.
THE SUPERGURU VIEW
Our take
A remaining right to an RBF pension can be the most important part of an account. Ask for written confirmation of what would survive a withdrawal or transfer before comparing the balance with another fund.

THE NUMBERS
Fees and investment returns
Use the product, investment option and employer plan on your statement. Lifecycle members need to choose the relevant stage. APRA's investment pathways may include closed options held by existing members.
No investment pathway has been matched to this profile in the June 2026 APRA package. Read the fee and performance notes below and use the fund's current documents. Absence from this dataset is not a performance-test failure.
Source: APRA Comprehensive Product Performance Package 2026, published 28 August 2026. Fees reflect the reporting year to 30 June 2026, are net of tax, use standard arrangements and exclude member-activity fees. Dollar figures are rounded. They are not a current quote. Check the latest PDS for changes, insurance premiums and any separately charged advice.
Returns are annualised historical results. Different return bases, risk levels and periods cannot be treated as interchangeable. MySuper net returns use a $50,000 representative balance even when you change the fee balance. A lifecycle stage return does not track a person moving between stages. Missing figures mean not reported, not zero. Past returns do not predict future returns. Read our method and APRA's definitions.

Retirement income
RBF life pension eligibility and conversion terms depend on membership history. Some withdrawals can remove access to particular pension conversion terms.
Comparing investment performance
A pension estimate and survivor-benefit terms are more informative than a generic accumulation return.
