Our best at Rest

Employee stories

Lachlan Ross and his family

Looking back on his paid parental leave, Lachlan reflects on the broader impact Rest’s support can have, both personally and professionally.

The fact that Rest actively encourages men to lean in and support their partners during this time promotes career longevity.

What's more, it provided an opportunity for others to step into my role while I was on leave which, in turn, resulted in a permanent promotion.

Lachlan Ross
General Manager, Service Operations & Recovery

James Foo and family

I feel privileged to work at Rest, a member-focused industry fund. Serving Rest members and helping them achieve a comfortable and dignified retirement has been the most rewarding experience of my career so far.

I focus on the things that make working at Rest a great experience. That includes how we recognise our people, how we embed diversity, equity and inclusion, and how we listen to and act on employee feedback. My job is to help make Rest a place where people feel valued, supported and proud to work.

Belonging at Rest: Diversity, equity and inclusion

We’re building a workplace where different perspectives are valued, everyone feels included and our people can be themselves.

Some of our diversity, equity and inclusion focus areas include:

  • Closing our gender pay gap: Our gender pay gap continues to narrow and remains well below the Financial Services and Superannuation industry averages*.

  • Increasing gender diversity at Rest: We've reached our 40:40:20 target for gender balance for our Board, Executive Leadership Team, and across Rest, and we're focused on holding it.

  • Creating a fairer super system for all: We’re focused on advocating for reform that will make the super system equitable for all our members, including our estimated tens of thousands of First Nations members. Our Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP) highlights our commitment to addressing inequalities in the super system. This also includes steps to engage our people with First Nations cultures and demonstrating respect to First Nations peoples.

Reconciliation and cultural capability

More than two million Australians are Rest members, including an estimated tens of thousands of First Nations peoples.

As part of the next phase of Rest's Innovate Reconciliation Action Plan, we're continuing to invest in cultural capability. Our learning programs build understanding of First Nations histories, cultures and perspectives, and help our people and partners contribute to a more inclusive workplace.
