About the Tribunal

The Tribunal is an independent dispute resolution body which deals with a diverse range of superannuation-related complaints and offers a free, 'user-friendly' alternative to the court system.

The Tribunal deals with complaints relating to decisions and conduct of trustees, insurers, and other decision-makers in relation to regulated superannuation funds, approved deposit funds, annuities, life policy funds and Retirement Savings Accounts.

The Tribunal does not, however, have an unlimited jurisdiction to deal with all superannuation-related matters. To find out what complaints the Tribunal can and can't deal with, click here.
