Hostplus issues annual member statements for the year ending 30 June, which are generally available in September. Your statement shows all transactions, fees, investment returns, switches, and beneficiary details. You can view your member statements for the last five years on Member Online.

If you've registered an email address on your Hostplus account, you'll receive an email from us when your statement is available online. If not, we'll send you a letter to let you know how to access it.

If you'd prefer us to mail your full statement to you, update your communication preferences on Member Online or call us on 1300 467 875.

Your superannuation benefit is based on the balance in your super account (after accounting for tax and expenses) and in the event of your death, this is the dollar amount that will be paid to your beneficiaries or legal personal representative.

Generally, you cannot withdraw your super until you retire from the workforce on/or after reaching your preservation age (the minimum age set by law when you can access your super). The current preservation age is between 55 and 60, depending on your date of birth. However, there are limited circumstances where you can access your super early.

A benefit payment will comprise contributions and rollovers, plus net earnings applied, less tax, fees and insurance premiums. In the event of your death, total and permanent disability, or if you have been diagnosed with a terminal illness, an insured amount may also be payable.

For more information on accessing your super please refer to our Member Guide.

For more information or queries on your account call Hostplus on 1300 467 875, Monday to Friday, 8am - 8pm AEST/AEDT. 

Contributions can be regular or one-off payments which are deposited into your superannuation account. They include employer concessional contributions (such as Superannuation Guarantee or salary sacrifice contributions), personal (non-concessional) contributions that you may choose to make, government co-contributions and rollovers (money transferred from another superannuation fund to Hostplus ).

There are various tax levels that apply at different times on payments into your account (contributions). 

For more information on contributions tax, including contribution caps, please refer to our Member Guide.  

As a Hostplus member, it’s easy to make and receive spouse contributions. What’s more, if your spouse is a low-income earner or doesn’t work, you can earn a tax rebate of up to $450 a year for contributions you've made on their behalf.

No. You can keep benefits in the fund until your death at which point benefits will be paid to your dependants or legal representative.

Hostplus wants to keep in touch with you and makes every effort to do so. However, in certain circumstances, unclaimed money must be paid to the ATO every six months.

For more information on lost members and unclaimed money, please refer to our Member Guide.

If you think you may fall within any of the categories set out in our Member Guide, you may want to check with the ATO to see if you are registered as a lost or unclaimed member. 

If you have an inactive account in any other funds or eligible rollover fund (ERF), you can consolidate them into your Hostplus account. 

We regularly conduct searches for lost super for our members. With your consent we may send personal information such as your full name, date of birth, address, and tax file number (if held) to the ATO.
