First, you’ll need to join CareSuper as a participating employer. You’ll need your company name, ABN and contact email handy, as well as a few other personal details. We’ll confirm your application via email once it’s all done and prompt you to register for QuickSuper, our online clearing house that allows you to make payments for all your employees (whether they’re CareSuper members or not) in the one place.
We must be set as your default fund the first time you use QuickSuper. To do this, click 'Create new relationship' under the 'Fund relationships' sub-menu and make sure to tick the default box. You'll also need to ensure your default fund is configured in your payroll system.
For more information on choosing CareSuper as your default fund, check out our Employer Guide, Nominating a default fund page or QuickSuper FAQ’s.

Legally, the ATO can't extend the due date for SG contributions. If you are experiencing difficulty in making payments, you may have the option to pay as much as you can by the due date, even if you can't pay in full. If you can’t pay the full amount, you’ll need to lodge a Super guarantee charge statement with the ATO. For more details, visit the ATO website.
The JobKeeper payment scheme finished on 28 March 2021. However, the JobKeeper payment scheme was amended to make JobKeeper payments available (in limited circumstances) to some business after 31 March 2022. For more information, visit the ATO website.
