FAQs

What does Hostplus do for a business that nominates it as its default super fund?

Registering a business takes an ABN and a few contact details. Superannuation Guarantee contributions for staff can then be paid using the Hostplus join-and-pay tool, the QuickSuper clearing house or a clearing house of the employer's choice, and registered employers have access to the specialist employer services team.

How are superannuation contributions submitted to Hostplus?

Hostplus QuickSuper pays super to all staff in one transaction, regardless of each employee's choice of fund, and employers can use their own clearing house system instead. QuickSuper users also get a digital employee onboarding form to share with new team members, so super details are captured accurately from the start.

What support do employers and their employees receive?

A specialist employer services team answers contribution, clearing house and legislation queries by phone and online enquiry, and a multi-channel service team operates in every Australian state and territory. Employees get investment choice, insurance options, member education through SuperSmart, and financial advice online, over the phone or face to face.
