Did you know...
There's no need to leave
QSuper if your work
circumstances change.

Leaving your job doesn't have to mean leaving QSuper.
Now it doesn't matter where you work
We understand it's unlikely you'll stay in one job throughout your whole career, and that a new job can sometimes mean adding another super fund to the list. Keeping track of extra super accounts can be difficult, but you don't need to open another super account just because you leave your job with the Queensland Government. At QSuper, your non-Queensland Government employer can pay contributions into your QSuper account.1 You'll also benefit if you have both Queensland and non-Queensland Government employment, because now you can have all of your super paid into one fund.
What you'll get
We're delivering what you want, and this means providing you with more choices than ever before. Sticking with QSuper means you can continue taking advantage of the wide range of educational tools, real service, and great value that QSuper provides.
When you call QSuper you speak with real people who know superannuation inside out. As a QSuper member you have access to a great range of products and options, including a variety of investment choices, access to transition to retirement strategies, a comprehensive seminar program, and subsidised access to Q Invest's financial planning services. Also, you'll be pleased to know that SuperRatings has confirmed our fees are among the lowest in the industry!2
When you select QSuper as your fund of choice, you automatically receive death and total and permanent disability insurance – another benefit of your QSuper membership. You may also be able to apply for income protection, so you should read the product disclosure statement (PDS) for the Accumulation account to find out if you're eligible for this additional insurance benefit.
Keeping it all together with QSuper
Because these arrangements mean that you don't need to open a super account with another fund if you change jobs, you might like to use your fresh start as an opportunity to get your super sorted – you can do this by rolling any other super you may have into your QSuper account. Not only will you find that having one easy-to-manage account may save you money in fees, but it will also be easier to track your super and take control of your retirement benefits. You can use a QSuper Easy transfer form (pdf) to transfer your super to QSuper.
I'm interested. Sign me up!
To get things started, simply call us to let us know you'd like your non-Queensland Government employer to contribute to your QSuper account. You'll then be asked to provide us with your employer's information, either online or via an Employer details form, whichever is easiest for you. We'll send you everything you'll need, including a Choice of superannuation fund form to give to your employer. Easy!
Saying goodbye?
QSuper membership is currently limited to QSuper members and their spouses. So, if you do decide to leave us, you should keep in mind that you can't rejoin unless you or your spouse return to work with the Queensland Government. We therefore hope you'll think carefully before giving up your QSuper membership. Once it's gone it may be impossible to get back, and you could be missing out on QSuper's great range of benefits and services.
