Super... it's your money!
What is superannuation (super)?
Super is extra money paid by your employer, on top of your wages, for you to access in the future. A super fund invests this money for you.
When you start your first job, you can select a super fund, or rely on your boss using the ATO to select your 'stapled fund', or use their default fund if you don't have an account set up.
When you change jobs, the fund is 'stapled' to you, meaning your new boss will start paying super into the same account unless you ask them to pay your super to a different fund.
When am I eligible for super?
Almost every working Australian over 18 has to be paid super. If you are under 18, you'll need to be working over 30 hours in a week.
