Question

How do I get my employer to contribute to First State Super?

Answer

First State Super will accept contributions from your employer if you are a member of the Fund, you will need to:

1. Check if your employer offers choice of superannuation fund - not all employers are required to offer choice.

2. If First State Super is not your employer's default fund, complete Part B of the Choice of superannuation fund - standard choice form with your personal details and include your First State Super member number.

3. Give your employer the completed Choice of superannuation fund - standard choice form and the First State Super Complying Superannuation Fund Notice, you can download both here (PDF 192kb)

The Complying Superannuation Fund Notice states that the Fund is a complying fund and will accept contributions from your employer. It also provides details about how your employer can make contributions to First State Super.

4. Your employer is only required to accept one choice in any 12 month period.

TIP: Any other super you have in existing funds will remain there unless you make arrangements to transfer it (roll over) to First State Super.
