Steve Bracks has signalled his intention to step down as chair of Cbus this September to pursue a Federal Government appointment as Australian-Consulate general in the US.
Bracks joined the board in early 2009 and helped successfully navigate the fund through a period of uncertainty, Cbus chief executive David Atkin said.
Bracks has also been the director of Cbus property was a former premier of Victoria.

The industry fund will announce a replacement prior to Bracks official resignation.
