Industry fund

Vision Super

Vision Super now includes the former Active Super membership. Its current products need to be read alongside the transfer notices, because the merger did not make every historical option or insurance arrangement identical.

THE OVERVIEW

About Vision Super

Active Super transferred into Vision Super on 1 March 2025. Vision's history is associated with Victorian local government, while Active brought a NSW local government membership.

Our take

Editorial assessment

Especially relevant for existing Vision or former Active members assessing their current arrangements and comparing alternatives.

What deserves a closer look

  • A merged legal fund can still contain materially different product histories.
  • Check whether an old investment option still exists before building a comparison around it.

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.

A CLOSER LOOK

Inside Vision Super

Accounts and products

Super Saver, Personal, pension and transition-to-retirement products, with existing defined benefit arrangements.

Sources12345

Investment choices

A range of diversified and single-asset choices. Some former Active products retain their own history and disclosures. Vision's Diversified Bonds option closed in June 2026, while the former Active Managed Cash option was consolidated in October 2025.

Insurance

The fund publishes separate insurance documents for Super Saver and Personal. Employment type, including casual employment, can affect the application process.

Sources12345

Retirement income

Pension and transition-to-retirement accounts are available. Existing lifetime or defined benefit pensions require their own scheme information.

Advice and support

Vision Super Financial Planners can help with super and pension questions. The tailored-advice schedule sets out which services carry a fee.

Fee details to check

Use the current PDS for your product, not an old Active Super cost estimate. Former Active members should check their transfer notice and current statement.

Comparing investment performance

Vision publishes separate performance information where needed for former Active options. Its notes distinguish super, transition-to-retirement and retirement pension returns because their tax treatment differs.
