What is super?

Superannuation, or super, is the money your employer (or you) sets aside over your working life to save for retirement. 

Super funds like Hostplus invest this money to help grow and protect it until you can access it later in life. 
 

Why is growing your super important?

The Age Pension alone might not provide you with enough income to live a comfortable life in retirement. That's why it's important to build up your super balance. That way you can combine the money in your super account with the Age Pension when you retire.

With a larger super balance, you’ll have more options to cover your living expenses and enjoy a fulfilling retirement, giving you the freedom to spend your time as you choose.

Need to track down your lost super?

Imagine finding a stash of money that you didn’t even know was yours. And then imagine what that could mean for your future. 

If you've changed jobs, forgotten to update your account details, or moved house, you might have unclaimed super waiting for you. Learn how to track down your lost super and use it to boost your super balance.

Need help verifying your identity?

Some First Nations Peoples may find it hard to meet Hostplus' identification requirements.

If you’re a Hostplus member of Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander heritage, you can use our Indigenous Persons Identity Referral form. This form can help you to verify your identity and access your super money.

Alternatively, some service providers in remote communities may be able to help. You can ask them to include your photograph in a letter confirming your identity, using their official letterhead.
