What is a default fund?
In a nutshell, your default fund is the fund into which you pay your employees’ Super Guarantee (SG) contributions if they don’t already have a fund of their own.
Awards-specified fund
If you’re in an industry with a Modern Award1 , there will be a default fund specified for you in that award. If you’re not sure, do a quick check with the Industry Super's Default Fund Finder to find the industry fund/s listed in your industry's Modern Award.
It’s possible Hostplus may even be a specified fund for the award or agreement your employees are covered by. If you do need to choose a default fund, partnering with Hostplus as your default fund is straightforward.
Steps to make Hostplus your default fund.
- If you’re not already a participating employer you can join online
- Provide employees with a standard choice form. Simply complete, print and distribute the standard choice form to your employees, including any future new employees within 28 days of their start date.
- Educate your employees about your choice of fund and the benefits of Hostplus .
It’s easy to join, but if you have any questions as to how Hostplus can make superannuation easier for you and your employees then your local representative is here to help.
