Take us to your new job
Changing jobs doesn’t mean you have to change your super fund, especially because there’s an easy way to take iQ Super with you and having all your super in one place makes it easier to manage.
Super choice
A super choice for a new job
When you move jobs, there can be a lot to think about and a fair amount of documents to read, understand, fill and sign. Generally, one of those documents is about super—or where you’d like to have your employer’s super contributions paid.
While your current super account is meant to follow you from job to job under the Government’s ‘Account stapling’ program, it’s easy for you to take control to ensure your new employer starts paying the employer super contributions into your iQ Super account. Plus, choosing iQ Super means you get to make the most of a range of great benefits, such as:
- the big investor advantage, to tap into award-winning global investment expertise
- GoalTracker® simply a better way to do super
- Super Tracker App to manage super on-the-go
- Retire Ready meetings, one-on-one meetings to help you prepare for retirement
- an extensive information and advice offer—general advice, phone-based advice and personal financial planning
- reliable and relevant information from the super experts, and
- award-winning super and retirement offers.

What’s next?
If you already have an iQ Super account
...and you want your new employer to start paying the employer super contributions into this account, it’s super easy.
- All you have to do is complete the Choosing Russell Investments Form and hand it over to your employer.
- If your employer provides you with an ATO Standard Choice Form, you can complete it by using our fund details and your account details.
Continuing with iQ Super may also mean you don’t have to go through any underwriting to get insurance cover (which may be a requirement when joining a new super fund).
Note: It may be that leaving your employer (to take on a new job) means leaving your employer’s super plan as well. Read the Your Super and Insurance When Leaving an Employer Fact Sheet to find out more.
If you want to move your other super into an iQ Super account
…and have your new employer pay their employer super contributions into this new account:
- find out about exit or withdrawal fees your other fund/s might charge, as well as any entitlements or insurance cover that might stop when you close your other account/s
- join iQ Super – For Life, which can be done online
- combine your other super into this new iQ Super account (get our fund details)
- complete the Choosing Russell Investments Form and hand it over to your employer.
