Australia’s second largest super fund has appointed two new directors to strengthen its governance.Australian Retirement Trust (ART) has appointed two new directors to its board, driving renewal and reinforcing its commitment to world-class governance and delivering for members.
Tina Wyer will join ART’s board, bringing nearly 30 years’ experience in financial services across Australia, Asia and the US and expertise in technology, finance and risk.
Wyer spent 16 years at JP Morgan Chase until 2020 and now serves on the boards of the Fred Hollows Foundation, Hume Bank, Australian Diabetes Educators Association and Domain Administration.
Amanda Newman also joins the board, bringing more than 20 years of experience in communications, campaigning and member engagement.
Newman has been a director at the Queensland Nurses and Midwives’ Union since 2012, playing a key role in industrial and member campaigns and representing the QNMU at external forums.
She has a strong understanding of the needs of working Australians, particularly nurses, midwives and teachers, and is deeply committed to ensuring they have a dignified working life and retirement.
ART chair Helen Rowell said the appointments reflect the fund’s focus on strong governance and member outcomes.
“Our fund is growing every day, now looking after more than $350 billion worth of retirement savings for our members,” Rowell said.
“With increased size and scale, and as the sector matures, it is important that we continue to meet the expectations of members and stakeholders. The appointments of Wyer and Newman will support us in meeting those expectations.
“Tina and Amanda bring strong experience – both nationally and internationally – and I look forward to working with them as we continue to steward the Fund on behalf of more than 2.4 million members.”
Wyer will start her position on ART’s board effective 4 February 2026, while Newman joined the board on 1 December 2025.
