Changing jobs

You will need to give your employer your ElectricSuper account details. You can do this online in your my.Gov.au account:

1. Visit the Employment menu
2. Select New employment
3. Complete the Super details section

Alternatively, you can download the choice of fund form below and fill in your contact details and ElectricSuper member number before giving to your new employer.

Your employer may also ask for evidence that we’re a ‘complying super fund’. You can download the compliance information for them below too.

• Standard choice form
• ElectricSuper compliance information

When you change jobs or leave the workforce entirely, as an ElectricSuper member, you will continue to pay no admin fees, have access to all the same investment options offered to active members and you can even keep Death, Total and Permanent Disablement or Income Protection Insurance (though your cover may change. See our Insurance for Retained Member page for information.).

If you are in the Division 5, you will automatically transfer to the retained section. If you are in the Division 2, 3 or 4, simply choose the option ‘Retain in Division 5’ on your benefit payment form.

This is the case whether you work full-time, part-time or casually. It also applies if you have a second job – your second employer can contribute to ElectricSuper for you too. Just give your new employer the details of your ElectricSuper account online through your my.Gov.au account:

1. Visit the Employment menu
2. Select New employment
3. Complete the Super details section

Alternatively, you can download, complete and hand them a hard-copy version of the Standard Choice form nominating ElectricSuper as your preferred super fund to get them started making contributions for you.

There are different scenarios that are considered a ‘transfer of employment’. You can read more about these on our Transferring Your Employment webpage.

If you transfer employment to work for the SA Government, you can choose to become a retained member in ElectricSuper and enjoy the ongoing benefits of investment choice, no admin fees on your retained benefit and continued insurance through ElectricSuper, or you can roll your funds to Super SA. You need to check the conditions of the transfer carefully before accepting a transfer offer.

If you transfer to another employer, even if they are interstate, your new employer can pay into your retained Division 5 (Accumulation) account. You can provide them your ElectricSuper account details using the online form in your my.Gov.au account.

Alternatively, you can download, complete and then hand them a hard-copy Standard Choice Form to get started. If you are in the Lump Sum, Pension or RG Scheme and wish to maintain your entitlement in that scheme, you will need to speak to your new employer and make sure they are willing to pick up the employer cost and obligations that go along with a defined benefit scheme.

If you are in a defined benefit scheme (Division 2, 3 or 4), the decision to roll your super to another division if you are transferring between electricity providers (for example, from SA Power Networks to ElectraNet) will depend on what division of ElectricSuper you are in and what conditions you were employed under. Speak to us on 1300 307 844 for more information.
