What happens if I don’t choose a super fund?

If you don't choose a super fund, your employer must check with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) to see if you have an existing super fund. This is known as a 'stapled super fund’.

If you don’t have an existing fund (for example it’s your first job) your super will be paid into a ‘default’ super product chosen by your employer. 

The best way to ensure your super is paid to your CareSuper account is to complete a Choice of fund form and give it to your employer. 

What’s an employer default fund?

A default super fund also known as an employer-nominated super fund is a fund that employers pay employees’ super into if they don't choose their own fund. All employers must ensure that their default fund is a MySuper product. 

MySuper is a government initiative that provides low-cost and simple super solutions for employers to choose as their default product for employees. MySuper options have basic features and simple fee structures, making comparing various funds easy. Read more about MySuper products here.

What’s an APRA fund or RSA?

The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) supervises regulated superannuation funds (other than SMSFs), Approved Deposit Funds and Pooled Superannuation Trusts, all of which are regulated under the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993 (SISA). 

CareSuper is an APRA regulated super fund —meaning that the responsibility for all investing, administration and regulatory requirements is held by the Trustee of the fund and not the individual members.

A retirement savings account (RSA) is a type of account provided by a bank, building society, credit union or life insurance company. It's similar to a regular savings account, however it's designed for your retirement savings and you can't access the money until you're retired.
