Industry Super Australia.
Industry Super Australia (ISA) was established in 2006 and manages collective programs on behalf of the 9 Industry SuperFunds, with the objective of maximising the retirement savings of nearly five million industry super members. ISA investors also participate in ISA's programs.
ISA’s most well-known collective program is the Industry SuperFunds marketing campaign, which provides information about superannuation and the benefits of membership of funds that carry the symbol. ISA also performs public relations and government relations on behalf of participating funds and entities.
ISA’s programs have helped participating funds grow by retaining existing members and attracting new members in a competitive market by promoting the benefits of profit-to-member super. This growth is then passed back to members through lower fees and higher investment returns on average, compared to other funds on average.
ISA’s programs also serve to protect members' interests by raising awareness of issues that can undermine their savings; like not receiving super contributions or being mis-sold unsuitable financial products that are not in their interests.
Contributions made to subsidise ISA’s programs are determined after considering several factors, including funds under management and the number of accounts held by a fund. In 2022/23, ISA’s total revenue was approximately $23M, with the vast majority of revenue allocated to the joint marketing campaign.
