Making super
better for
everyone
The federal government’s Your Future, Your Super legislation introduced reforms designed to simplify and improve superannuation for all Australians. These include:
- super fund ‘stapling’
- an annual performance test for super funds
- measures to better ensure that super funds always act in your best financial interests.
Super fund
stapling
Stapling means your super automatically moves with you when you change jobs. In other words, your super is linked – or ‘stapled’ – to you.
It aims to give you greater choice and control over which super fund you invest with.
Before stapling was introduced, unless you nominated a fund, your super was paid into your employer’s default fund. So, it’s likely that you had a new account opened for you with a different super fund each time you changed jobs. If you’ve had more than one job, you may have more than one super account – which in turn means you could have multiple sets of fees and other costs (like insurance premiums) eating away at your retirement savings.
Stapling aims to reduce the number of super accounts you have over your working life. Being stapled to one fund aims to ensure that you don’t pay more fees and costs than you need to, because you won’t have a new super account opened every time you change jobs.
You’re automatically stapled to your current super fund if you have one. When you change jobs, your new employer will provide you with a choice form (either a paper/electronic form or via their onboarding platform) where you can specify where you’d like your super contributions to be made. If you don’t return a completed choice form to your employer, they’ll contact the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) to find out what your stapled fund is. Your employer must then pay your super contributions into that fund. If you don’t have a super fund (because you’ve just joined the workforce, for example), you can either:
- nominate a super fund, or
- let your employer put you into their default fund (which becomes your stapled fund in the future).
You can always change your super fund at any time. Stapling just means that unless you tell your employer otherwise, your super will stay with one fund throughout your working life.
You’re in control
Being stapled to a fund doesn’t mean your super is out of your hands. If you consolidate your super into Hostplus, you’ll only pay one set of fees. Plus, there’s the benefit of our low admin fee2, strong long-term returns1, flexible insurance offerings, and the freedom to choose the investment options that best suit your objectives, needs and circumstances.
Super fund
performance
testing
To make sure super funds are better held to account, every fund must undergo an annual performance test that measures net investment returns against Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) benchmarks.
Funds that fail the test two years in a row must take steps to address their performance issues before they sign up any new members.
APRA’s MySuper performance test places greater emphasis on a fund’s longer-term results – and we’re proud that, to date, we have passed every APRA performance test since it commenced in 2021.
As a Hostplus member, you’re in one of Australia’s top-performing industry funds. Our default Balanced (MySuper) investment option is ranked the number one option over rolling 10 and 20-year periods.1
Acting in your
best financial
interests
Your Super, Your Future legislation states that all super funds are required to act in the best financial interests of their members. It’s something we can proudly say we’ve always done – Hostplus has been helping people like you save for retirement for more than three decades.
To help you understand what’s happening with your super, we’ll provide you with clear information on how we manage your money in our member outcomes assessment, annual reports and at annual members' meetings. Want to know more? Get in touch.
Your super, sorted
It’s reassuring to know things are sorted. That’s why, when you choose Hostplus, you get the tools, services and advice you need to manage your super.
And it’s all in one place. From financial advice or reports, to calculators, guides, fact sheets and forms, you can easily find the information you need.
