What to do If the employee does not choose a Super Fund?

14 Apr 17

Employers must nominate a default fund to which the employee's SG contributions must be paid if the employee does not choose a fund. From 1 January 2014, employers must contribute to a MySuper product on behalf of employees who have not exercised choice.

The default fund must be a complying super fund and must offer minimum life insurance coverage as set out in the regulations. The minimum life insurance coverage that must be offered is as follows:

  • The amount of cover provided by a premium of at least $0.50 per week for those under age 56; or
  • Minimum life insurance coverage commensurate with their age range as detailed in the table below:
