Before you combine your super make sure you…

One

Consider if it is right for you

It’s always a good idea to speak to a licensed financial adviser or visit moneysmart.gov.au before combining. We can’t stop the transfer if you later change your mind.

Two

Check your insurance cover

Are there any death and disability insurance cover that you may lose if you change funds? 

Three

Check fees and charges

Find out if your other super fund may charge fees when leaving the fund.

Four

Check if you wish to claim a tax deduction for personal super contributions

If you do, you must lodge a notice of intent to claim a tax deduction with your original fund before you consolidate your super into another fund.

Five

Tell your employer

You will need to complete a Choice of fund form and list the super fund you want your employer to pay your super into. To complete the Rest Choice of fund form click here.

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

Got a question?

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. 

What is lost super and super held by the ATO?

According to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), there’s $13.8 billion held as lost or unclaimed super in accounts across Australia as at 30 June 2020.
