By becoming a participating AustralianSuper employer, your employees will have access to high-quality, low-cost superannuation options and access to low-cost home loans, low-cost credit cards, financial planning and a range of other benefits provided by third parties.
It's easy to start up – and there are no joining fees or charges. Just follow these six steps:
Step 1.
Complete the online Employer Application Form.
Step 2.
Provide your employees who will be joining AustralianSuper with the latest Member Guide, which includes a Membership Application Form.
Step 3.
Choose how you want to make the superannuation contributions for your employees each month. For example, you can write a cheque, transfer money directly from your bank account or transfer funds electronically. Please do not send cash.
Step 4.
Collect all Membership Application Forms and check that they are signed and filled out correctly. Then sign each of the forms yourself as the employer.
Step 5.
Send all forms to AustralianSuper. We will then send you a certificate confirming your participation in AustralianSuper and your first Contribution Advice.
Step 6.
If you cannot supply AustralianSuper with completed Membership Application Forms for your employees, please supply the following details for each employee:
- Full name
- Address
- Date of birth
- Date joined employer
- Date joined fund
- Tax File Number (if authorised).
Important note
Unless you hold an Australian Financial Services Licence (AFSL), or are an authorised representative of an organisation that holds an AFSL, you cannot recommend any financial products or give advice about any superannuation funds.
Breaches of the relevant legislation could expose employers to hefty fines and/or imprisonment.
Any person wanting advice about financial products should seek advice from an Australian Financial Services licensee or an authorised representative of a Licensee.
