AustralianSuper is proud to partner with Australia Post to help you grow your super.
As a super fund that is run only to benefit members, any profit we make goes back to our members. With members at the centre of everything we do, we’re committed to helping you achieve your retirement goals.
We aim to deliver strong long-term performance and low fees for our members. We also offer a wide range of investment options. With AustralianSuper, you have access to a range of digital tools and resources to help you plan for the future.
In most cases, you can choose where your super goes
To make a super choice, simply nominate AustralianSuper when completing your onboarding documentation online.
If you don’t nominate a super account when you start a new job, your employer will contact the ATO to find your ‘stapled fund’ and will pay your super contributions to that account.
If you don’t have an existing super account and don’t choose a fund, your employer will pay your super into their nominated default super fund1.

How to join AustralianSuper Select?
If you’re a permanent employee or fixed term contractor, and want to change your current super fund to AustralianSuper Select, simply elect the ‘Default’ option as part of your on-boarding at Australia Post.
We’ll then be in touch shortly after with details of your membership in the Australia Post Plan (Select).
If you’re already an AustralianSuper member, that’s great. When Australia Post advises us that you've started your new job, we'll be in touch shortly after with all the information about your membership in AustralianSuper Select, including details on your updated insurance.

What happens if I’m a casual or Startrack employee?
Casual and Startrack employees are ineligible to join AustralianSuper Select, but you still have the option to join AustralianSuper, where your super will be paid into the AustralianSuper Plan. This is the fund's largest plan, open to any employee of any industry, and has the same benefits as Select, except for the insurance arrangements.
If your employment changes from casual to permanent employee or fixed-term contractor and you have an AustralianSuper Plan account, once notified by Australia Post we'll automatically change your account to AustralianSuper Select and confirm these changes to you in writing.
