Choosing a super fund
When choosing a superannuation fund, there is no one-size-fits-all. It's best to look at both fees and investment performance, and the benefits and tools on offer to see how much better off you will be.
How to compare super funds
Changing super funds
You have a choice as to which fund your super goes into. Your employer generally has a default fund, however you do not need to have your super go into that fund. You can instead go with your preference.

Making super contributions
When it comes to growing your superannuation account balance, a little extra can go a long way. By law, your employer must contribute at least 10% of your earnings into your super account. However, 10% may not be enough to provide for a comfortable retirement, so there are several additional super contribution options available.

Accessing your super
Understanding how and when you can access your super can be helpful in planning for your future. Your super is designed to fund your retirement, so it’s generally only possible to withdraw your super when you have reached a certain age and retired. However, there are special circumstances for accessing your super early.
