Notify your employer of your CFS super details
Share your CFS super details so your employer pays contributions into the right account
Why notify my employer
Your employer needs your Colonial First State super details to pay contributions into the right account. Without them, your super may be paid into a different fund.
This is especially important when you start a new job, change employers or want contributions paid into a different account. It only takes a minute to share your details and helps you stay in control of your super.
How to notify your employer
Choose the option that suits you and your employer.
Share details from the CFS app
This is the fastest option. Here’s how to do it:
- Log in to the CFS app. If you don’t have it, download the CFS app today.
- Choose the option to share your super details with your employer
- Enter your employer’s email address and send
Your employer will receive your fund details in one email.
Use a choice of super fund form
Some employers require a choice of super fund form for payroll. In this case, download and complete the form that matches your account:
- FirstChoice Wholesale Personal Super — Choice of super fund form
- FirstChoice Employer Super — Choice of super fund form
Once completed, give the form to your employer or payroll team.
If your employer asks for compliance documentation, download the CFS Letter of Compliance and include it with your form.
