Find your lost super

Finding and reclaiming super money that you may have forgotten about or didn’t even know you had is a great way to make a difference to your super.

Super strategy #2 will help you do this.

According to the Australian Tax Office (ATO), there is $9.7 billion in 'lost' super in Australia.

Typically, super gets 'lost' when people move house, change jobs or their name and don’t notify the super fund of their new details. Then they forget about the fund.

AMP’s SuperSearch can help you track down lost super.

If you find super that’s yours, you can use SuperSearch to combine it in your existing AMP account.

By putting all your super money in one fund you could:

  • pay just one set of fees and charges which could save you money. With one fund, you pay one set of fees instead of several.
  • make managing your super easier. One fund means one set of paperwork to keep track of, and more time for you to do the things you want to do.

Super searching is easy

To find out whether you have 'lost' super, follow the steps below. You will need your tax file number.

  1. Click Start search. This will take you to the Australian Tax Office (ATO) SuperSeeker. Conduct search by entering your details. Print the results if you find lost super.
