Super is a way of saving for retirement. Your employer must pay a percentage of your earnings into your super account, and your super fund invests the money until you retire.
There are lots of different super funds you can choose, and different types of accounts. Find out how to compare super funds, choose an account that works for you, find your lost super, and join your super accounts into one.
Look after your super
Your super is your money. Look after it by:
- comparing your fund's fees, performance, investments, insurance and services with others
- finding any superannuation accounts that you’ve lost track of
- considering whether to combine your super accounts together if you have more than one
- checking the insurance cover you have in your super account
- knowing what’s involved before deciding whether to choose a self managed super fund (SMSF)
- being wary of anyone offering to help you withdraw your super early
