Taking your super with you

Like many of our members, when you change jobs - maybe from a club to a pub, one restaurant to another, or even interstate - you can take your HOSTPLUS membership with you. Simply give your new employer your HOSTPLUS membership number. Even if you move on from the hospitality and tourism industries, you can stay with HOSTPLUS.

If you leave your current HOSTPLUS-contributing employer, you can still stay with the fund.

1. You start work with a new employer who agrees to contribute to HOSTPLUS.

  • If your new employer is already making superannuation contributions to HOSTPLUS, then you simply need to give them your membership number. They will pay your super contributions into your existing account.
  • If they are not a current HOSTPLUS employer, they can set up an account with us. A HOSTPLUS representative would be happy to assist them.

2. You start work with an employer who does not contribute to HOSTPLUS, you take a break from the workforce or you become self-employed.

  • You can leave your money in HOSTPLUS and continue to make your own contributions if you wish. Your account will continue to earn interest and attract only a small member fee of $1.50 per week and $1 per unit per week for each unit of insurance cover you have.
  • If you become self-employed, you may apply to switch your employer sponsored super account into the HOSTPLUS Personal Super Plan. As you are an existing member, your existing insurance cover will continue. Refer to the Member Guide (1.83MB) for more information.

If you require further assistance call us on 1300 HOSTPLUS (1300 467 875).
