Find Lost Super
If you've had multiple jobs, got married and changed your name or moved interstate or even next door, your super could have lost you. $238 million dollars are currently waiting to be claimed. From 1 July 2010, lost super accounts with balances under $200 will be transferred to the Australian Tax Office (ATO). So get your money before the government does.
You can claim lost super using the ATO's SuperSeeker.
To claim your lost super, you will need your:
-
Name
-
Tax file number (TFN)
-
Date of birth
If SuperSeeker has a record for you, they'll provide you with the name of the fund that may have your super. You'll need to check with that fund.
Forgot your TFN? - Contact the ATO on 13 28 61
Don't have a TFN? - Contact the ATO on 1300 720 092
You can transfer your claimed super to WA Local. Just send us a completed Transfer In form which is available on the forms and publications page. We'll take care of the rest.

Temporary Residents
From 1 April 2009 members who are, or have been a temporary resident, are generally restricted in the manner in which they can access their superannuation.
The ATO will periodically issue temporary resident reports to superannuation funds who are required to transfer all amounts held in those member's accounts, to the ATO. If required, the Trustee will transfer any unclaimed superannuation of temporary resident's to the ATO.
Under relief granted by ASIC, exit statements are not required to be sent to the members advising that their account has been transferred to the ATO. WALGSP will be relying on this relief.
If a temporary resident subsequently contacts the fund, information about the payment to the ATO will be provided. Please note that any temporary resident has the right to contact the ATO and make an application to it requesting payment of any transferred unclaimed superannuation.
