Track down your lost super
Lost super is more common than you might think. If you’ve ever changed your name, moved house or changed jobs, then you could have super accounts that you’ve lost track of. This means your lost super is either with the ATO or still with your other super fund. The good news is it’s easy to find out if you have any lost or unclaimed super with myGov or with AustralianSuper.
Once you locate any lost super you might have, you can choose to combine it into one account2. Putting all your super in one place could help you save on account fees as well as making your super easier to manage too.
