The Police Superannuation Office is responsible to the Police Superannuation Board for the management and administration of the day-to-day operations of the Police Superannuation Pension and Lump Sum schemes.

Police Superannuation Board

The Police Superannuation Board’s role is to administer the Police Pension and Lump Sum superannuation schemes and to ensure that members are provided with quality superannuation services. The Police Superannuation Board is not responsible for the investment of the assets of the Police Superannuation Fund.

The Superannuation Funds Management Corporation of South Australia (a separate body to the Board) (Funds SA) is responsible for the management and investment of the assets (member contributions) of the Police Superannuation Fund.
