Best super fund for hospitality, tourism and leisure workers
Hospitality has high turnover, casual contracts, and lots of tips-based earnings. The right fund handles multiple small employer contributions without losing track, and has low fees that don't eat fast-growing early-career balances.
Hostplus is the incumbent fund for hospitality, tourism, sport and recreation. Its administration is built for multi-employer casual workers, and its MySuper Balanced option has been a consistent APRA top-quartile performer.
Runners up
Solid alternatives if Hostplus doesn’t fit your situation:
- AustralianSuper — 7.90% p.a. 10y return, $337/yr at $50k. Australia's largest super fund by members and assets.
- REST — 7.40% p.a. 10y return, $398/yr at $50k. Industry fund for the retail sector and younger members.
What to check before switching
- Check you're not duplicating insurance premiums across old Hostplus accounts — consolidation is essential in this industry
- If you're moving into a more settled non-hospitality career, compare long-term against AustralianSuper and REST before committing
The three things that matter for every occupation
- 10-year net return beats any marketing claim. Check the ATO YourSuper tool.
- Fees in dollars, not percentages. At your balance, what does each fund actually charge per year?
- Insurance defaults vs your actual needs. Use our insurance cost calculator to see the retirement-savings trade-off.
Use the calculator
Plug any two funds into our compare funds calculator with your actual balance — the dollar gap over 20 years can be enormous even between “similar” funds.
