What to expect

When can we help?

Many Australians are now free to choose their own superannuation funds instead of automatically becoming members of their employer fund. This is known as super choice, or choice of fund.

But what does it really mean for you and what difference does it make?

Common questions to consider

Some questions you may wish to consider include:

  • What is a choice of fund?
  • Am I eligible to choose my super fund?
  • If I am eligible for Choice, what do I do?
  • If I am eligible for Choice, what should I expect from my employer?
  • What’s in the Standard Choice Form?
  • What funds are eligible Choice Funds?
  • What is a ‘default’ fund?
  • What happens if my employer doesn’t make contributions to the fund I choose?
  • What are my opportunities if I am eligible for Choice?
  • What happens if I don’t make a choice or make an invalid choice?
  • When will my employer start making payments into my Choice Fund?
  • Can my employer reject my choice of super fund?
  • How often can I switch to another super fund?
