How do I find out if I have an account balance in the SHA special account?

If you have an account balance and we have your postal address, we will send you an account statement when your account is opened and then on an annual basis.

You can use SuperSeeker to check if you have an account balance in the SHA special account.

If there is no activity on your SHA special account for 10 years, your balance will be transferred to consolidated revenue. You can request a withdrawal of your account balance by using the Application for direct payment from consolidated revenue form for Individuals (NAT 16338).

We encourage you to transfer your SHA special account balance to your super fund or retirement savings account as soon as possible.
