Message from David, our CEO


"When you’re part of HOSTPLUS, you’re also part of a wider community with a common heritage in hospitality, tourism, recreation and sport. 

We’re the super fund created especially for these industries. And every day my team and I feel privileged to be associated with these exciting industries and the people working in them, who value excellent service the way we do. 

I’m confident that anyone who shares our vision and passion will find working at HOSTPLUS enjoyable, constructive and fulfilling.

You’ll get that great feeling of purpose every day. 

There’s a theory for business success that always comes to mind when I think about the team at HOSTPLUS; it comes from the (now) classic management tome ‘Good to Great’ by Jim Collins.

It’s about knowing that our destination will be reached as long as we have the right people on the bus first and foremost. 

There is no doubt in my mind just how important HOSTPLUS’ people are in achieving all that we have thus far. 

We pride ourselves on our ‘expect more’ attitude and positive outlook, so if you think you have what it takes to apply for a career here, I wish you the best of luck and hope to welcome you to the HOSTPLUS team (bus) soon."
