Did you know there's more than $17 billion* in lost super waiting to be claimed in Australia?
Could some of it be yours?
If you’ve changed jobs, moved house or even changed your name, you may have lost track of your old super.
Don’t let your savings slip away
Use the ATO’s SuperSeeker tool and find your lost super now.
It only takes a few minutes.
Finding lost super can be even better than finding $20 behind the couch, because the longer super is invested, the more it could benefit from compound interest.

Before you combine your super, you should check whether your other funds charge exit or withdrawal fees, and how exiting those funds could impact any other entitlements (like insurance cover).
