When considering a significant life-changing event such as redundancy, it is essential that you receive the best possible information and advice.
RBF are the experts on RBF schemes and no one knows your superannuation rights and entitlements better. After all, we have been providing financial peace of mind to Tasmanian State Government employees for over 100 years.
If you are considering a possible redundancy, the first step is to speak with your employer. Once you confirm your expression of interest with your employer, they will forward your name to RBF. RBF will then send you information relevant to your membership type.
As a valued member of RBF, we will continue to assist you through this period by providing timely, accurate and helpful information and advice about your superannuation options and entitlements under redundancy.

As the news worsened about world markets over the past 2 years, some investors reacted to the economic downturn by changing their exposure to the volatile markets and selected more conservative investments.
But the world moves on.
In recent months, market commentators have been highlighting the upturn in both the Australian and international stock markets. With increased confidence being reported in the long term economic outlook, it is important to re-think our investments.
If you moved to more conservative investment options during the past few years, don't forget to re-assess your options as confidence returns to the market. While no-one can be sure that the market will not fall again, what we can be sure of is that low risk investments will continue to provide lower returns over the long term.
