Who gets your super, if not you?

Why beneficiary nominations are super important  

If you die and don’t have a beneficiary nomination in place, your super mightn’t be given to the right people. Learn how you can make sure your wishes are followed.  

Your super's generally not part of your will 

Unlike other assets, your super benefits aren’t automatically included in your estate. Instead, your super fund must follow rules and regulations when deciding how funds will be distributed.  

Get peace of mind and choose who your super benefits will go to

Don’t add headache to heartache 

Losing you will be hard enough. Taking steps to let us know your wishes can make it easier for the loved ones you leave behind.

The simplest way to do this is to make a beneficiary nomination.

Who can be nominated? 

A binding or non-binding beneficiary can be a dependant, someone that is financially dependent on you, or your legal personal representative. Head to our beneficiaries page for more information.

Choose the nomination type that suits you
