What you need to know

1 Current as at 1 October 2020. Investment options are subject to change.

Before requesting a rollover of your superannuation benefits, you should consider where your future employer contributions will be paid. If you wish to change the fund into which your employer contributions are being paid, you will need to contact your employer. You should also check with your other fund(s) to determine whether there are any exit or withdrawal fees for moving your benefit, or other loss of benefits (e.g. insurance cover). You may not receive the same type or level of benefits after the rollover and may lose any insurance entitlements you have in other fund(s).
