Latrobe Regional Gallery has established the Cbus Gallery of Australian Art to showcase a changing program of exhibitions drawn from the Cbus Collection. The Collection includes paintings and prints by some of Australia's best known artists from the nineteenth century through to the present.

Cbus, the industry superannuation fund for the construction, building and allied industries, began investing in Australian art in the early 1980s under the guidance of Australian art expert Dr Joseph Brown AO OBE.
