With royal assent received for the Your Future, Your Super measures on 22 June 2021, an employee’s superannuation account will follow them from job to job unless they make an active choice to nominate a different account.

From 1 November 2021, new employees will be ‘stapled’ to an existing superannuation account. From that date new arrangements will apply when onboarding new employees. The changes do not apply in respect of continuing employees.
