Answer: With most jobs, you can choose which fund you have your employer super contributions paid into. It makes sense to stick with AustralianSuper, so you can continue seeing your super grow faster with our low fees and strong investment performance. And having only one account means avoiding an extra set of fees.

 

It’s easy to choose AustralianSuper – simply fill out the Choice of super fund nomination form which can be found in our Changing jobs brochure. This form includes the compliance statement and payment options your employer needs. Give it to your employer, making sure you have included your AustralianSuper membership number. 

 

You are entitled to make a choice at least once per year (or more if your employer lets you).  

 

But you should bear in mind that some jobs are covered by awards or agreements that do not allow for a choice of fund. Discuss your options with your new employer’s human resources department, who can explain to you whether you can make a choice or must stick with their default fund.

 

Those who will not be eligible for Choice of fund are:

 

• covered by Federal Certified Agreements or Australian Workplace Agreements that provide for the superannuation fund(s) that the employer makes payments into
• covered by State Awards or Agreements that provide for the superannuation fund(s) that the employer makes payments into
• involved in certain defined benefit funds
• involved in certain public sector funds
• covered by certain agreements under the Victorian Employee Relations Act (1992).
