There's an estimated $6.25 billion in unpaid super

In 2022-2023, there was an estimated net gap of 6% or $6.25 billion in unpaid super in Australia1. A quick check could show you if any of it belongs to you.

Why it’s important to check your super contributions

When someone pays you it’s normal to check your bank account to make sure the money arrived. Doing the same with your super account can help you keep on top of your transactions.

4 out of 5 people aged 50 and over who answered this question in 2025 would check to make sure their super is being paid correctly2.

Checking your super account for employer payments and extra contributions helps you know how your super is tracking - and what to do next. Reviewing the ‘Transactions’ page by logging into your account online or via the AustralianSuper mobile app is the best way to stay across your super transactions. 

You can also adjust your notification settings in the app to receive a notification whenever an employer contribution lands in your account.
