We’re keeping fees low for GESB Super and West State Super clients

As part of our commitment to keeping fees low and improving retirement outcomes for members, we’ve made changes to our administration fees for GESB Super and West State Super clients.

What has changed?

Following a recent pricing review, we’re pleased to advise that from 1 October 2026:

• We have reduced the percentage-based administration fee for GESB Super accounts from 0.16% to 0.12% per annum (p.a.)
• We introduced a cap of $600 p.a. on the percentage-based administration fees charged to GESB Super and West State Super accounts

Administration fees are deducted from members’ accounts each month to cover the costs of managing these accounts, while helping to maintain our risk reserves.

Administration fee cap for GESB Super and West State Super

With the new administration fee cap, the most a GESB Super or West State Super member will pay in percentage-based administration fees is $600 p.a., regardless of their account balance.

While this is good news for all members, this change has the most impact on clients with higher super balances.

Note that the cap does not apply to the fixed account keeping fee of $66 p.a., which will continue to be charged as normal.
