About us

Our Purpose

Everything we do at CFS revolves around one thing – helping our members achieve financial freedom in retirement.Outcomes are recognised

We have an official program of awards and recognition for great work, but acknowledging the outcomes of our achievements is something we do informally, every day, at all levels of the organisation. Shout-outs for a job well done are important to us. Celebrating success is not only great for culture, it helps everyone know what great outcomes look and feel like, so it keeps us all on the right track.

Our work in the community

We provide all our people the opportunity to give back, with two days per annum of volunteering leave to work within registered charities or community groups. We also provide every employee who joins CFS Employer Super access to Thrive+, our sustainable investment option. This gives our people the opportunity to help us make a positive contribution to people, planet, and policy.

Environment is everything

We know that the work environment we all enjoy plays a major part in our ability to collaborate and connect. We’ve designed our office to enable flexible work settings with a focus on health and wellbeing - from standing desks, to quiet rooms, there’s a space to suit everyone’s needs. 

We also offer a broad range of facilities including a ZenDen, parents’ rooms, reflection room and end of trip amenities. 

Our Inclusive Workplace

We believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion is fundamental to our success. While we have robust policies in place that foster belonging, it is also a natural part of our culture. 

Our Employee Action Groups are run by our people and champion diversity, equity and inclusion across the business. They’re motivated to create a truly inclusive culture where every person feels safe, celebrated, and heard.

We have five Employee Action Groups supporting gender diversity, cultural diversity, LGBTQIA+ employees, our youth to connect and learn and wellbeing to promote a supportive and healthy workplace. 

Reconciliation Action Plan

Our Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) provides all staff with the opportunity to better understand and celebrate Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures and histories, while holding ourselves accountable for actions and initiatives that will improve our reconciliation efforts. 

Our goal is to create an inclusive and diverse workplace that is culturally safe, rich and proud.
