Get your super sorted

Taking control of your savings is easier than you think

You may have thought about getting your super sorted, but it always seems too hard or ends up on the bottom of your to-do list. 

Here’s our ultimate guide to getting sorted once and for all. 


Step 1. Access your account online


First things first, login to your account – check your balance, keep track of contributions, change your options and more. 

If you’ve got your member number handy, you can login right now, or call us on 1300 HOSTPLUS (1300 467 875) to get set up on the spot

Step 2. Update your details


Once you’re logged in, make sure all your details are right,  including your e-mail address, so we can stay in touch

Step 3. Provide your Tax File Number (TFN)


If you don’t provide your TFN, your super could be taxed a much higher rate.

Find out more.

Step 4. Find your lost super


This is probably the toughest step – gathering your member details from other super funds but we’ve got some tips to help.

Step 5. Get your super together – rollover


Getting all your super into your HOSTPLUS account not only means less paperwork, but you’ll pay just one set of fees.

Get rollover help now.

Step 6. Choose how your super is invested


When you join HOSTPLUS, your super is invested in our default investment option, the Balanced option.

But is this the right option for you or should you make an investment choice?

Step 7. Take us with you


New job? Leaving the industry? No problem. You don’t need to lose your super again - you can take your HOSTPLUS account with you.

Here’s how.

Step 8. Find out how your super can keep up with you


When things change, you need to make sure your super changes with you. If you’re going overseas, planning a career break or think you may need to access your super early, we can help.

You can also find out more about managing your super throughout your life here.
