BUSSQ Building Super: Leading Industry Super Fund for Queensland’s Construction Sector
BUSSQ Building Super is an Australian industry superannuation fund established in 1985 to serve workers in the building, construction, and civil sectors, primarily in Queensland. The fund is open to anyone, though its core membership is drawn from the construction industry. BUSSQ operates as a regulated superannuation entity, managed by BUSS (Queensland) Pty Ltd, and is governed by a board comprising equal member and employer representatives. The fund focuses on delivering tailored financial products, insurance, and retirement planning solutions designed to meet the unique needs of its industry clientele. With over 40 years of experience, BUSSQ has built a reputation for strong long-term investment returns and personalized service, including workplace visits and dedicated employer representatives. BUSSQ does not operate as an NVOCC or provide maritime logistics services; its core business is superannuation and financial services for construction industry workers.
BUSSQ is managed by BUSS (Queensland) Pty Ltd, with a trustee board consisting of eight directors: four member representatives and four employer representatives. The executive team includes Damian Wills as Chief Executive Officer and Peter Laity as Chief Investment Officer. The leadership structure emphasizes governance, compliance, and member-focused management, ensuring the fund operates in the best interests of its members.
BUSSQ does not own or operate shipping containers or vessels, as its operations are focused exclusively on superannuation and financial services. The fund leverages advanced financial management platforms and online member services, including a clearing house (SCH online) for employer contributions, digital account management, and tailored insurance solutions. Technology investments are aimed at improving member engagement, security, and service delivery.
BUSSQ’s network is concentrated within Australia, with a strong presence across Queensland and service coverage for members nationwide. The fund conducts regular workplace visits and information sessions throughout Queensland, ensuring accessibility and support for employers and employees in the construction sector. BUSSQ does not maintain a global maritime network, as its services are limited to superannuation and financial advice within Australia.
BUSSQ Building Super reports annual revenue of $21.1 million. The fund has demonstrated consistent growth and strong long-term investment returns, positioning itself as a leading superannuation provider for the construction industry. Financial performance is driven by a profit-for-members model, minimizing fees and maximizing returns for fund members. BUSSQ maintains a stable market position through prudent investment strategies and a focus on member outcomes.
BUSSQ offers a comprehensive suite of superannuation and retirement planning services, including personal financial advice, tailored insurance products, and investment management for members in the building and construction industries. The fund provides personalized employer services, such as dedicated representatives, clearing house solutions for contributions, and regular workplace engagement. BUSSQ specializes in industry-specific financial solutions, ensuring members receive optimal returns and support throughout their careers and into retirement. Additional services include online account management, educational sessions, and flexible payment options for employers.
