Congratulations on bringing your KiwiSaver across the ditch. Now let’s get all your money in one place, including your ongoing contributions from your employer – aka your super guarantee (SG) contributions.
When you are working in Australia your employer must pay the minimum Superannuation Guarantee (SG) contribution currently set at 11.5% of your ordinary time earnings (OTE).
In general, all employees are eligible for SG contributions. It doesn’t matter if you work full time, part time or casual, your employer must pay SG contributions.
The only exception is if you’re under 18 years of age. In this case you’re only eligible for SG contributions if you work more than 30 hours in a week.
It’s simple to set up. Download and complete the Choice of Fund form and hand it to your employer. It’s worth checking with your employer when you can expect the next SG contribution to go into your First Super account.

Having all your retirement savings together in one place means you’ll receive more compound interest than if they are left in separate accounts.
If you have other superannuation accounts elsewhere, why not consider combining it to your First Super account and have all your super and KiwiSaver retirement savings in the one account?1
It’s easy to transfer funds from your existing superannuation account over to your new First Super account. And if you’ve moved around to different jobs in Australia you may have other super accounts. We can help you find all your super accounts and combine then into one.
To find and transfer your existing and missing super accounts to First Super, log into your firstonline account and go to ‘Find and combine super’. Any existing accounts belonging to you will be displayed. Then, if you wish, you can combine the funds into your First Super account.1
It takes two minutes to do. Simple.
