What happens to your super when you die? Keeping your beneficiary nomination up to date helps ensure your super benefits* go to the right people and may reduce the time it takes for them to access your super.
Choose from two types of beneficiary nomination
Binding beneficiary nomination
Provided your binding nomination is valid, we're legally bound to pay out your benefit* according to your instructions.
To make a binding beneficiary nomination, complete the form below and mail or email it back to us. This type of beneficiary nomination requires two witness signatures.
Non-binding beneficiary nomination
A non-binding nomination tells us your preference as to who should receive your super benefits*. We'll take it into consideration, along with your personal circumstances at the time of your death, when deciding who your benefit should be paid out to.
To make a non-binding beneficiary nomination, log in to update your beneficiaries. This type of beneficiary nomination does not require witness signatures.
The important people in your life may change, for instance when you get married, have children or other life-changing events. It’s good practice to regularly check your beneficiary nomination, at least every year, to make sure it reflects your personal circumstances and remains valid.
