Choosing us as your default fund

We’re an award-winning Industry SuperFund and a profit-to-member fund, meaning our decisions have our members’ interests front of mind. As a top-performing Australian super fund with a consistent track record of outperformance,* we believe in active investing to improve the net returns for our members. Our competitive fees and competitive insurance offering empowers members to thrive beyond their working years.

We care about helping our members achieve their personal goals and improving their financial wellness at every stage of their life. Our members – your employees – have access to a range of extra benefits and services when they join us.

If you’re searching for the right default fund, compare super funds carefully to make sure the one you choose meets the ATO’s minimum requirements, but also suits your business and your employees’ needs.

Employees choice

Most employees are eligible to choose which fund their super goes to.

When a new employee joins your company, you have 28 days to provide them with a standard choice form. (If CareSuper is your default fund, you can use ours.)

If the new employee does not choose a fund, you will check with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) for a stapled fund. If a stapled fund is found, the employee contributions will go to the stapled fund. If one is not found, their contributions will go into your nominated default fund.

We recommend you read our Employer Guide, Product Disclosure Statement and Target Market Determination before joining CareSuper.

Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future performance and you should consider other factors before choosing a fund or changing your investments.
