Former federal minister John Dawkins has been appointed to the board of big building industry super funds Cbus as an independent director.
Dawkins was Trade minister in the Hawke Labor Government.
Announcing Dawkins’ appointment, Cbus chief executive David Atkin said the role of independent director brought a unique perspective to activities of the board, while acting in the best interests of Cbus’ 655,000 members and 76,000 employers.
Atkin noted Dawkins’ depth of experience in the financial services sector, particularly as a director at Sealcorp Holdings (now Asgard Wealth Solutions), and as chairman of Elders Rural Bank.
