Stapled Super Funds

Most employers from 1 November 2021, may have an extra step to take to comply with choice of fund rules if:

  • They have new employees start, and
  • The employees do not choose a super fund.

The employer may now have to request their new employees ‘stapled super fund’ details from us.

A stapled super fund is an existing super account that is linked, or ‘stapled’, to an individual employee so that it follows them as they change jobs.

The change aims to stop new super accounts from being opened every time an employee starts a new job.
