The SMSF Association is looking to appoint a new patron following the resignation of Tim Costello.
The social justice advocate, who has been in the role since succeeding former High Court chief justice Sir Anthony Mason in August 2017, resigned for personal reasons.
SMSF Association chair Dr Deborah Ralston said: “The association is indebted to Tim for the way he has diligently executed his duties as patron of our organisation for the past two years.
“What the board and the members have greatly appreciated is how he has encouraged us to have a broader vision about superannuation, and especially how this relates to the SMSF sector.”
Costello said it had been a “privilege and honour” to be patron of the association.
“Seeing how the sector has grown and given confidence to people so that they can feel secure about their future has been a joy to watch,” he said.
Ralston said a new patron would be announced once a successor to Costello had been appointed.
