By the way, if you happen to make a change to your insurance, binding beneficiary nominations or investments, or ask your employer to pay your super into AustralianSuper, you could also save your account. It’s important to check with your employer if you’re relying on employer contributions to make sure your contributions will start being received in time to avoid the transfer.
1 Before adding to your super, consider your financial circumstances, contribution caps that may apply, and tax issues. We recommend you consider seeking financial advice. The easiest way to make after-tax contributions is through direct debit or BPAY.
2 Before making a decision to combine your super, consider any fees or charges that may apply, and the effect a transfer may have on benefits in your other fund such as insurance cover. We recommend you consider seeking financial advice. If you wish to claim a tax deduction for personal super contributions, you must lodge a notice of intent to claim a tax deduction with your other fund before you combine your super.
