Careers
Make your mark in the financial services sector.
For over a century the people of CSC have served—and continue to serve—current and former Australian Government and Australian Defence Force employees, and their families.
As one of Australia’s first superannuation funds, our purpose is to build, support and protect better retirement outcomes for all our customers. Our mission is to be the trusted and valued partner who achieves long-term investment objectives, guides informed retirement decisions, and gives our customers peace of mind that their futures are in safe hands.
We manage 11 government super funds. Over 680,000 Australians trust us to look after $56.7 billion of their retirement savings*.
CSC in our current iteration was established in 2011 as a corporate Commonwealth entity. We operate with a separate legal status and function in a corporate framework as a commercial entity—therefore working at CSC is not a government role/positon.
Join us at CSC and see we all have The drive to make a difference.
At CSC, our diverse workforce of talented people unite to guide our customers to reach their retirement dreams.
Our work makes a real difference to customers’ lives. We are proud to wear the government crest, and proud to serve those who serve our country. Every day we each have the opportunity to contribute and strive for excellence, together.
Super is personal, and so is our approach to one another. We are committed to ensure people at CSC thrive. We create opportunities and nurture our people’s careers, so they lead meaningful and balanced work lives.
If you share these same values, and have the drive to make a difference, we’d welcome you to join us.
