Your Future, Your Super Measure

The Your Future, Your Super measure recently passed meaning that from 1 November 2021, employers will no longer be able to use a default fund if a new employee does not select a choice fund. Instead, the employer will be required to check if the employee has a stapled fund using either the:

  • Retail service accessed via ATO Online (available 1 November)
  • Wholesale service accessed via business software (available mid 2022)

The ATO are currently running a survey to make an informed decision on the "request a stapled fund" service to ensure it supports current employee onboarding processes undertaken by DSPs. More information about the survey can be accessed by members via the forum
