Guide to superannuation for individuals

Keeping track of your super

Your super is your savings for retirement. It's important for you to have an accurate idea of how much is being contributed, where it's going, and what super accounts you have.

Checking your super contributions

If you're entitled to compulsory super guarantee contributions from your employer, make sure you know how much they pay and what fund it's being paid into.

Transferring your super to one account

If you have more than one super account, you may want to consider combining them into one super fund so you pay only one set of fees and costs. It also means you can keep track of your money more easily. You should find out if your fund will charge you to close the account and whether you'll lose any benefits.

Finding any lost or unclaimed super

If you've ever changed your name, address or job, you may have some lost super and be listed on our lost members register.

Unclaimed super is different to lost super. It's money that can be withdrawn from a super fund because you meet eligibility requirements, but the super fund can't contact you. You may be listed on our unclaimed super money register.

You can search for your lost and unclaimed super online with SuperSeeker.

We update the information on SuperSeeker regularly, so you can keep checking for any new accounts that we might find on your behalf.
