Key point
Superannuation is generally retirement savings paid by eligible employers into a super fund. Keep your member details and consolidate carefully.
When starting work
You may choose an eligible fund or use the employer process. Give accurate details so contributions reach the correct account.
After leaving Australia
Eligible temporary residents may apply for a Departing Australia Superannuation Payment after leaving and their visa ceases. Tax applies.
Before you apply
Check that your information covers the correct Australian income year. Keep source documents and do not enter TFNs, passport numbers or bank credentials in ordinary messages.
