The Albanese Government is urging Australians to take just a few minutes to check if they have any lost or unclaimed super. It's part of our commitment to helping people retire with dignity and make the most of every dollar they've earned.
Millions of Australians could be thousands of dollars better off in retirement as new ATO figures reveal nearly $19 billion in lost and unclaimed superannuation, waiting to be reunited with its rightful owners.
Your super can become lost if your account is inactive, and your fund can't contact you. If you've ever changed jobs, moved house, or have had more than one super account, there's a good chance some of your super is lost.
But here's the good news: it's not lost forever - it's just waiting to be claimed.
Reuniting with your lost super is quick and easy - visit the ATO website and complete the 5 step Super Health Check to identify any lost funds and consolidate these into your active superannuation account.
With the average amount of unclaimed super $2,590, completing this simple super health check is reuniting you with thousands of dollars now, that could grow into thousands of dollars by retirement thanks to compound interest.
Having multiple super accounts can mean paying extra fees and missing out on growth on your retirement savings. Consolidating your super may make it easier to manage and helps your money work harder for your future.
The Albanese Government is working with the ATO to reunite Australians with their lost super. Don't leave your money behind - check today and make sure every dollar ends up where it belongs: in your retirement savings.
