Before combining your super, you should know that:

• any death and disability insurance cover that you have with your other super fund will be cancelled and the account will be closed;

• your other super fund may charge fees when leaving the fund;

• if you wish to claim a tax deduction for personal super contributions, you must lodge a notice of intent to claim a tax deduction with your original fund, before you consolidate your super into another fund;

• we won't be able to stop the transfer if you later change your mind; and

• you will need to complete a fund nomination form with Rest if your other super fund account is receiving contributions from your employer and you want these to be re-directed to your Rest account.

If you have any questions, please speak with a licensed financial adviser or visit ASIC's MoneySmart for more information.

FAQs

Why should I keep track of my super?

Staying on top of your super will keep you up to date about:

  • How much super you’re being paid
  • How many super accounts you have
  • Any insurance provided with your super

It’s important to know where your super is. Having multiple accounts can mean paying multiple fees which over time could add up to thousands of dollars. That's money that could be saved towards retirement.

For more information visit the ATO website.

Verifying your identity
