Find your share of $18 billion

Could you have lost super?

Did you know there’s now $18.9 billion in lost and unclaimed super in Australia¹? That’s money that belongs to everyday Australians. And some of it could be yours.

How does super get ‘lost’?

Super doesn’t vanish, but it can become ‘lost’ if we can’t contact you, or you’ve lost track of your accounts. Multiple super accounts can make it even harder to keep track.

Outdated details

If we can’t contact you and your account hasn’t received contributions for a while, your money might be transferred to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) as unclaimed super.

Forgotten super accounts

Changing jobs, moving house or changing your name without updating your super details can also lead to lost super.

Multiple super accounts   

More than one job often means more than one super account, which could mean you’re paying more fees than you need to.  

Maybe you’ve decided to keep more than one super account for a specific reason (e.g. insurance cover).  If you only need one super account, consider consolidating your super in one place. It could save you time and money.
