Meet
Hostplus
Welcome to Hostplus. We're your employer's new superannuation partner, and we're here to help.
Your employer has partnered with Hostplus to offer its employees an industry super fund that strives to be the lifetime fund of choice for Australians. We’re the super fund that covers people from a broad range of backgrounds and industries, including your own. As one of the largest and top-performing super funds in Australia over the long term, our low admin fee1 and strong long-term returns2 aim to help provide you with the future you deserve. We know every dollar you save could help secure a future full of positivity.
A future full of good stuff?
That's a plus.
Hostplus is your employer's
default super fund
What does this mean for you?
Your employer has chosen Hostplus to be their default superannuation provider. This means you can join Hostplus as part of your employer's super arrangements.
Your choice of super fund is important. The options available to you are:
Stay with your current fund
You might already have a super fund and if you'd like to stay with them, you don't have to do anything. Your employer will continue to pay your super contributions to your existing fund.
Existing Hostplus members
If you're already a Hostplus member, there are no changes to your account. Your employer will continue to pay your super into your existing Hostplus account. You don't need to do anything.
Why choose
Hostplus?
insurance
arrangements
Protecting against the unexpected.
Protecting against the unexpected can give you peace of mind. That’s why we offer eligible members Death and Total & Permanent Disablement insurance3 with options to tailor their cover. With insurance premiums deducted from your super account, insurance cover will continue as long as there are sufficient funds to pay the premiums and eligibility is still met. You can cancel, reduce or apply to increase your insurance at any time.
Important: Under Putting Members’ Interests First (PMIF) government legislation, Hostplus can only provide automatic Death and Total & Permanent Disablement (TPD) insurance cover when you first meet the following criteria (subject to eligibility requirements):
- you’re aged at least 25 years, and
- your Hostplus account balance first reaches at least $6,000.
If you don’t meet this criteria, you can also opt-in to the default level of insurance cover, subject to terms, conditions, and eligibility requirements, by logging in to Member Online. To learn more about PMIF, visit hostplus.com.au/pmif
Your insurance options
Automatic Death and Total & Permanent Disablement
If the worst should happen and you die or are totally and permanently disabled through illness or injury, Death and Total & Permanent Disablement (TPD) insurance means that a lump sum will be paid to you or your loved ones.
Eligible employees will receive automatic Death and Total & Permanent Disablement (TPD) insurance cover.
Terms and Conditions may apply. You should always read the PDS before making a decision.
Income Protection
Income Protection insurance is a great way to secure your finances in case you're unable to work due to illness or injury. With this type of insurance, you'll receive monthly payments to help you cover your living expenses and focus on your recovery.
Hostplus have Income Protection options available to you, each with different waiting and benefit periods.
Transferring existing insurance
If you already have super with another fund and would like to become a Hostplus member, it’s important to note that any existing insurance won’t automatically transfer to your new Hostplus super account. The level of insurance cover, premiums and terms and conditions can also differ between funds. If your level of cover was greater at your previous fund and you wish to maintain this level of cover through Hostplus, you can transfer your insurance cover through Member Online.
We recommend that you do not cancel any existing cover or close or consolidate4 your other super fund account/s until your application to transfer cover is accepted by Hostplus.
Consider consolidating your super
If you already have super with another fund and would like to become a Hostplus member, any other super account you may already have won't automatically consolidate4 or transfer into your new Hostplus account.
There’s a lot to consider when thinking about whether consolidation is right for you. Before consolidating, compare the fees, performance and other features of each fund and check whether you’ll lose any benefits or be charged a fee for closing an account. Importantly, if you do close an account, you’ll lose any insurance attached to that account. You may find it beneficial to obtain advice from a licensed financial adviser before consolidating.
