The FVS 2026 specificationsExternal Link to support the changes are available now.
From 1 July 2026, the FVS Update service will include:
- new data to capture the reason a Unique Superannuation Identifier (USI) is closing
- where the closure is due to a Successor Fund Transfer or Intra-fund Transfer, funds will also be required to provide the ABN and USI of the receiving fund
- whether a USI is ready to receive fast payments and a PayId (if applicable)
- rationalised contact information for support with SuperStream processing issues
- new certification value to support response messaging as part of closing a USI.
From 1 July 2026, the FVS Get services will be expanded to provide closed USI details along with future dated changes.
These updates will be made available in External Vendor Testing Environment (EVTE) from 17 October 2025.
The ATO is still finalising the production cut-over for these services to minimise impacts to employers and super funds, with anticipated release plan as follows:
- The new FVS Update service will replace the existing update service from 1 July 2026.
- The new FVS Get service will be available alongside the current service from 1 July 2026.
- The current FVS Get service will be deactivated on 1 July 2027.
- The FVS List service will not be updated and will be deactivated on 1 January 2028.
Funds should talk to their Digital Service Providers about build and support plans for the release of these new services.
