Getting your account merger ready
On 1 November we’re merging with fellow Industry SuperFund Spirit Super. We’ll still be called CareSuper, but you’ll become part of a bigger and better fund with more than 550,000 members, $53 billion in assets and a combined experience of over 70 years. This means we’ll be big enough to make a positive difference to your super, but still small enough to care.
Some things will change but rest assured, we’re here for you, and we’ll continue to do what we do best – truly care for your future.
How do I get my account sorted?
You don’t need to worry about your super balance, it will automatically transfer to the merged fund and will remain invested for your future. But there are some actions you can take to get your account sorted.
What you can do now
1. Read the Significant Event Notice (SEN)
This important document outlines all the details of the merger. Depending on your circumstances, read about the changes to your super and/or transition to retirement account.
2. Cancel your BPAY and Direct Debit contributions
If you make after-tax contributions by BPAY or direct debit you’ll need to cancel these before 22 October. We’ll be entering a limited service period at this time, so any contributions received after this date will be refunded.
Please note once we merge Direct Debit will no longer be available. But don’t worry, you’ll still be able to grow your account balance using BPAY.
What you can do from 1 November
