What next?
- Make a choice. Australian Food Super has included a simple checklist overleaf to help you consider the right fund for you.
- Join a fund! You will need to speak with your HR or payroll staff to find out how they sign you up to a super fund. You can also complete a choice of fund form. Or if you’re not yet a member, you can join Australian Food Super online.
- Rollover any other super you have elsewhere into your choice of super fund. The more super funds you have, the more fees you are paying. You do, though, need to consider any insurance cover you may have with these funds which may be canceled.
- Carefully consider your insurance cover with any fund you join. In the food industry, it is even more important to make sure you have the right insurance cover, including life, total and permanent disablement and income protection cover. Australian Food Super provides eligible members with cover for all three types of insurance.
To make an informed choice about your super, it is recommended that you compare several different funds and consider which one is appropriate to your objectives, financial situation and needs. You may wish to speak to a financial adviser.
