Take your super to your new job

Your super goes with you. Since November 2021, your new employer must pay your super contributions into your existing account by default (called ‘super stapling’), helping you avoid multiple accounts and unnecessary fees. But your super may not go where you want it, so you can choose where it goes by exercising choice. 
​

A stapled super fund is the existing super account linked to you that follows you between jobs unless you choose otherwise.
​

To check if CareSuper is your stapled fund you can: 

1. Contact your employer’s payroll team
Ask if they have your stapled super fund details on file and whether CareSuper is listed.

2. Use the ATO’s online services
Log in to your myGov account. In the ATO section, you can view your super accounts and see which fund is stapled to you.

3. Request a stapled fund notification from the ATO (via your employer)
When you start a new job, if you don’t nominate a fund, your employer must ask the ATO for your stapled fund details. You can also request this yourself through your employer.

You can provide your employer with your CareSuper details via Member Online, a completed form, or a pre-populated email, see above.

Yes, you can take your CareSuper account to any employer, provided you’re an eligible employee. Just give them your CareSuper details and they’ll make contributions to your account. You can provide these details via Member Online, a completed form, or a pre-populated email, see above.
