Find your lost super
Your super is likely to be a major source of your retirement income, so it’s important to keep track of your accounts.
If there’s no activity in your account and/or your fund cannot contact you for a while, your super will be considered ‘lost’.
What happens to lost super?
We are required to transfer lost accounts from GESB Super, GESB Super (Retirement Access) or West State Super, to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). This process helps people find their lost super – but their super account(s) are closed.
Use myGov to find and manage lost super
In myGov, you can:
See details of your super accounts
This includes any accounts from your previous jobs and any accounts held by the ATO because the government, your super fund or your employer couldn’t find an account to transfer your super to.
Combine multiple super accounts into one fund
If you transfer your super from one fund to another your request will generally be actioned within one week
