Australia's Unclaimed Billions
In total, there's $7.2 billion, or an average of $1,600
per account waiting to be claimed. It may not be a large amount (most accounts in Australia's Unclaimed Super Fund
have less than $1,000) but if you dropped $20 down the back of the couch, you’d look for it, so why not look for
your unclaimed super? You worked hard for this super and it's yours, go out and find it!
If you have worked in the last 12 years and changed jobs
or your address or even had a name change, you could be one of the more than 3 million Australians with unclaimed
superannuation. That's one in every three working Australians!
If you are a "lost member", the following
instructions can help you find your lost super via the ATO Super Seeker and allow you to transfer it into your
current superannuation fund.
