Rebrand for Sisters of Mercy
The 11,000 member Sisters of Mercy Staff Superannuation Scheme has had a name change and will now call itself Mercy Super.
Explaining the move, the fund’s chief executive, Chris Engelhardt, said it was necessary to reflect the fund’s role as a provider of superannuation services to members who were employees of many organisations under the annexe of Sisters of Mercy, including Mater Health Services.
“Within one of our largest employers, Mater Health Services, there are seven hospitals, a medical research institute and a whole host of allied health organizations and initiatives,” he said. “We wanted the fund to have a name that encompassed all those facets of the Mercy business.
Engelhardt said that along with the roll-out of the new brand, the fund would be providing members with access to personal financial advice via Industry Fund Financial Planning and new insurance arrangements developed in liaison with MLC Limited.
