ADF Super

ADF Super is the super fund for current and former members of the Australian Defence Force.

Join ADF Super

We’re proud to offer ADF Super – a fund designed just for current and former members of the ADF.


How it works

  1. Saving for your future

    As a member of the Defence Force, your employer contributes 16.4% of your super salary into your ADF Super account. You can add extra money to your super by making before-tax and after-tax contributions, or by transferring in money from other super funds to help grow your savings.

  2. We invest your money

    Contributions to your account are invested, so the value of your super depends on the amount of those contributions and the net returns from their investment over time, minus fees and costs.

  3. When you're ready to retire

    You generally withdraw your super when you’re ready to leave the workforce. In some cases, you may be able to access your super or a portion of it earlier.

Choose investment options to suit

Our range of investment options recognises customers’ appetite and capacity to take risks changes over different stages of your life.

Sometimes the unexpected happens in your civilian life, and we’re here for you if it does. While you’re serving, you can access ADF Cover. When you’re out, you may have access to lifePLUS Protect.

ADF Cover and lifePLUS Protect

The nature of Australian Defence Force (ADF) service often makes it hard for customers to obtain Death and Invalidity cover at a reasonable cost. We make it easy for you—when you’re serving and when you’re out.

ADF Cover—when you’re serving

ADF Cover provides eligible ADF personnel with Death and Invalidity benefits at no extra cost. And if there’s a successful claim for Death or Invalidity benefits, these are paid on top of your super benefits.
