Australian Retirement Trust TPD Claim Guide

2 July 2026 · 6 min read

Australian Retirement Trust (formed from Sunsuper and QSuper) includes TPD cover for many members. Here's how a claim works.

Australian Retirement Trust (ART) is one of the nation's biggest funds, created from the merger of Sunsuper and QSuper. Like most funds, it provides default TPD insurance to many members.

Check your cover first

Look at your ART statement or online account for TPD cover and the insured sum. If you previously held Sunsuper or QSuper, that cover generally carried across — and you may have cover in other funds too.

Lodging your claim

Claims usually start through your member account or by contacting the fund. The insurer assesses your claim against the policy's disability definition — almost always "any occupation" for super cover.

Evidence and timing

Prepare detailed medical evidence, ID and employment history. A waiting period typically applies. For the full sequence, see how to make a TPD claim.
