2. Get your money together
Before you open an AustralianSuper Pension, it’s a good idea to consolidate your super money. This includes other superannuation funds you wish to rollover and any lost super you may have. If you have funds outside of super, you will need to arrange for these to be rolled into your superannuation before you can contribute them to your new pension.

3. Make some decisions
You will be asked to make some decisions about your pension payments, like how much you want to receive and how frequently. You will also need to nominate your beneficiaries and be given the opportunity to choose your investment strategy.

4. Complete the paperwork
Complete the forms attached to the Pension Product Disclosure Statement. Once your account has been set-up and all monies received, you will be sent a welcome letter, AustralianSuper membership card and information to access PensionOnline.
