Step by step

  • Log in to myGov and link the ATO if you haven’t already.
  • Go to Super, then Manage. You will see every account the ATO knows about, including any lost or unclaimed super the ATO holds.
  • Note each fund’s balance, fees and any insurance.
  • Decide whether to transfer. You can often do it from the same screen.

Before you combine, check insurance

Older accounts sometimes carry life or TPD cover you can’t easily get again, especially if your health has changed. Read insurance in super and consolidating super first.

Beware of scams

Nobody legitimate will cold-call to “release” your super early. See scams and checking advice.
