Frequently asked questions
We’ve answered the big (and small) questions our customers ask the most.
What is superannuation in Australia?
- In Australia, superannuation is a way of saving for your retirement. By law, your employer must make payments to your superannuation account in addition to paying your wages or salary. Your superannuation fund then invests the money until you retire.
- Superannuation, or Super, is a retirement savings system where money is set aside while you’re working to support your financial needs for retirement.
- Generally, you will begin to accumulate super when you start working , and your employer is required to pay a minimum percentage of your salary or wages into a super fund account for you.
- Note employees are generally eligible to receive super if they’re over 18, or under 18 and working 30 hours or more per week. Eligibility criteria can vary. For full details, refer to the ATO website for the latest Superannuation Guarantee (SG) rules.
- Your super can be invested in a range of assets and the super fund manages this money for you until you retire.
