Returning all profits to members for 30 years

Since 1994, we’ve grown to become the biggest redundancy fund in the country, with over 95,000 members. To help celebrate going strong for 30 years, ACIRT has just released a great video that explains how we’ve become the No. 1 safety net for construction workers.

Delivering billions to members

Over the last 30 years, ACIRT’s paid out over $2 billion in claims! So when members have needed a hand, we’ve always been there, paying out claims quickly.

And unlike other funds, we return profits to members every November in the form of an Annual Distribution. This helps cover the cost of presents or makes the Summer holidays that bit more special. We’ve actually distributed more than $380 million over the last 30 years to eligible members!

More benefits of ACIRT

Since we started, we’ve continually made improvements to ensure ACIRT stays the best redundancy fund in Australia. We offer an $11,000 funeral benefit for members with active accounts to help your loved ones if something terrible should happen to you.

We offer Education Grants to help you build your skills. And we offer tax-free Genuine Redundancies* so you can keep more of your hard-earned cash when you need it the most.Plus, members can make a claim at any time, meaning there are no restrictions on member payouts like other funds.

The future looks good

Recent changes to EBA’s don’t affect our commitment to members. We’ve been here for you for 30 years, and that won’t change. 

Remember, you don’t have to leave ACIRT, regardless of what you’ve been told. It’s entirely your decision. But you’ll need to keep your account open with us if you want to keep getting our famous November Distribution. So stick with the strength of ACIRT.
