State Super acknowledged its centenary in 2019 with the announcement of the State Super Scholarship which provides valuable financial support to successful applicants who are completing a Masters Degree or PhD at a NSW university. Work completed by State Super Scholarship recipients is intended to provide a pipeline of research into the superannuation, retirement and pension needs of public sector workers in Australia. Located in Clarence Street, Sydney, NSW, State Super is led by Chief Executive Officer John Livanas and his executive team including Chief Investment Officer Charles Wu . Chairperson Nicholas Johnson heads the State Super Board.
