Why combine multiple super accounts?

Keep your hard-earned dollars 

Stop multiple account fees from draining your balance. Combine your super into a single fund to pay less on admin and keep your savings invested.

Maximise your super investment

With less money spent on fees and more staying in your super, you'll have a bigger base to benefit from when there's strong performance.

Stay in control of your super

It's easy to keep track of your super when it's combined into a single account. See how your super is performing in the CFS app.

How to combine super accounts

  1. Log in: Simply log in to your super account via FirstNet or the CFS mobile app and choose 'Consolidate my super' or tap 'Grow my super' then 'Consolidate super'

  2. Verify: We’ll ask you a few verification questions to perform the search for your super. We'll also need to verify your identity so have your Australian driver’s licence, passport, visa or Centrelink and Medicare card handy.**

  3. Search: We'll use the ATO's SuperMatch service to search for any lost or other super you may have.

  4. Combine: If we find any super under your name, you can combine your super accounts with a click of a button.  

Things to check before you combine your super

Make sure the account you're keeping has enough cover to meet your needs. You can check which insurances are attached to your CFS account through FirstNet.

If your employer contributions are currently going to an account you want to close, you’ll need to let your employer know where they should go from now on. Need to bring your super to your FirstChoice account? Use the CFS Super Choice - Fund Nomination form.

You’ll need to change any salary sacrifice or regular direct debits, so they go into the super account you’re keeping open. Speak to your employer or bank to sort this out.

It’s best to speak to a financial adviser before combining your accounts to ensure you’re across all the implications. You can use Find an Adviser if you don’t already have one.
