Pay one set of fees
Multiple accounts mean multiple sets of fees. Combining means one account, one set of fees, and more of your money working for your retirement.
combine your super
Your super is your money. Just like any savings account: the more that’s in it, the more it can earn. That’s why it’s important to consider keeping all your super together.
See everything in one place
With one account, your full balance, investment performance, and transactions are all visible at a glance.
Avoid losing track
Super can become "lost" if your fund can't reach you or your account becomes inactive. Combining makes it easy to stay on top of your savings.

things to consider
Combining your super is straightforward, but it’s important to check a few things first to make sure it's the right move for you.
Insurance cover
When you combine your super, any insurance cover through your other funds will stop. Check what cover you have before combining. In some cases, you may be able to transfer eligible insurance cover to HESTA. Download the Insurance transfer form (PDF) to check your eligibility.
Personal and contributions tax
If you're currently making personal contributions to another fund and plan to claim a tax deduction, lodge a Notice of intent to claim form with that fund first and wait for confirmation before combining.
Your employer contributions
If you're working, let your employer know you want future contributions to be paid into HESTA before you start the combining process.

how to combine your super online
The quickest way to find and combine your super is through your HESTA online account.
Step 1: Get started
Have this information ready:
- Tax file number (TFN)
- Australian passport or driver's licence
- Medicare card
- Details of any other super funds if known (not required)
Step 3: Verify your identity
The government requires an identity check to authorise the super search, so you’ll need two forms of ID. If you know the details of your other super account, you won't need to verify your identity.
Step 2: Log in to your HESTA account
Go to hesta.com.au/login and sign in with your member number and password. Open the menu in your account and click on the ‘Combine’ tab. If you haven't set up online access yet, you can register here.
Step 4: Review your accounts and combine
We'll search for any other super accounts linked to you. Then you can review what's found and combine in a click. Combining super accounts can take up to 3 business days. You’ll be able to see when your super has been successfully combined in your online account under ‘Transactions’. You'll also receive a confirmation letter in your account inbox.
