Protect Your Super Before July 1

In a move to implement key superannuation reforms designed to protect individual Superannuation members, the Federal Government has passed the Treasury Laws Amendment (Protecting Superannuation Package) Act 2019, which introduces the following changes that may impact you.

If you have a super account which has not received a contribution (or rollover) for 16 months, and you have not contacted your super fund, and confirmed with them that you wish to keep your insurance, then any insurance cover contained in your super will be cancelled from 1 July 2019.

To avoid your insurance being cancelled, you must notify your superannuation fund before 28 June 2019 or make a contribution or rollover by 28 June 2019. You may have already received (or soon will receive) a communication from your superannuation Trustee informing you of this legislative change. Please note, some superannuation providers may act sooner, so please don’t delay.

Once you have informed your super fund that you wish to retain your insurance, it remains effective indefinitely.
