SuperSeeker will search the lost members register and our other records, including the superannuation holding accounts (SHA) special account and unclaimed super register.
The lost members register (LMR) holds lost member records from all regulated super funds in Australia, other than self-managed super funds (SMSFs). Super funds are required to provide updated information to us by 30 April and 31 October each year.
Super funds are required to report and pay unclaimed super to us twice a year. There are five types of unclaimed super - that is, unclaimed super for a:
- member who is 65 years or older
- non-member spouse
- deceased member
- former temporary resident
- member with a small or insoluble lost member account.
For more information, refer to Unclaimed super.
If SuperSeeker finds a match between the details you have provided and details on the LMR, SuperSeeker will provide the account details and contact details of the super fund that may have your lost super. You can then contact your super fund to talk about what to do with your benefits.
If SuperSeeker finds a match between the details you have provided and the unclaimed super or other super amounts held by us, follow the links to the claim forms provided by SuperSeeker, or phone us on 13 10 20 for more information about these accounts.
Some of the things to consider before transferring your lost super are:
- Fees - if you are not aware of the fees that may apply when transferring super, you should contact your fund for further information before completing this form. Your fund must give you this information. The fees could include administration fees as well as exit or withdrawal fees. The fund you transfer to may also charge entry or deposit fees on transfer. Differences in fees funds charge can have a significant effect on what you will have to retire on. For example, a 1% increase in fees may significantly reduce your final benefit.
- Other benefits - your current fund may insure you against death, illness or an accident which leaves you unable to return to work. If you choose to leave your current fund, you may lose any insurance entitlements you have.
- Check that the fund you are transferring to is able to accept the transfer.
- If you are unsure what to do, you should seek independent financial advice.

SuperSeeker can help you transfer your lost accounts by pre-filling a transfer application form which you can submit online or print and send to your fund.

|
Your fund may ask you to provide copies of your proof of identity documents before they can process online transfers.
|
Yes. SuperSeeker will tell you if you are able to electronically submit the completed form to your fund.
You may not be able to lodge the transfer form electronically for one or more of the following reasons:
- The fund holding your benefits:
- does not have a current ABN
- cannot accept electronic transfer requests
- The fund you are requesting your benefits be transferred to is:
- not a regulated fund
- wound up
- identified as an illegal early release scheme
- We cannot verify that you are a member of the fund to which you are requesting your benefits be transferred. This may happen if you have only recently opened this account.

Your fund may ask you to provide copies of your proof of identity documents before they can process online transfers.

You can find your TFN on:
- your income tax notice of assessment
- correspondence we have sent to you
- your payment summary - for example, from your employer.

- phone 13 28 61 between 8.00am and 6.00pm, Monday to Friday
- visit an ATO shopfront (phone 13 28 61 to make an appointment).
