And I’ve never been afraid to ask for help. Sometimes asking for people’s advice in the industry can be very humbling; and learning new skills can be very humbling if you take yourself out of your comfort zone.” While she was still in Sydney, Bennett had travelled back to Adelaide to spend time with her grown children who hadn’t followed her to Sydney. So when the role of Super SA CEO emerged, it made sense. A head hunter told her to ‘put her hat in the ring’ for it. “I thought it would be an amazing opportunity; it’s an amazing fund. I feel very privileged to be given this opportunity.” Super SA provides superannuation services and manages $28 billion for 220,000 public sector employees in the state. Super SA is a public sector fund and still a constitutionally protected fund regulated by the State Government and not APRA (though it mirrors APRA regulations). Since joining, Bennett is developing a new three to five- year strategic plan for the fund and “future proofing the fund”. Super SA has lots of complexities including open defined benefit and continues to have a mandated membership. There has been increasing discussion and debate about offering choice of fund. “Super SA will quite possibly have to change compared to what it is today,” Bennett says. “Do we become limited public offer, do we continue to have mandated membership? As part of the strategic direction of the fund, ‘future proofing’ is a key initiative. A number of scenarios are currently being explored by the fund”. Bennett says Super SA is working closely with the SA Government and key stakeholders “to develop a plan for the future which is in the best interest of members; but that also evolves the fund in the manner that would meet all changes at a national level as well”. are going to have to find unique partnerships to continue to More broadly, Bennett says the Royal Commission deliver the services that members want.
