What SuperSearch does
A simple way to check what may already be there
Many people do not realise their super fund may include insurance cover or other entitlements. It is common for funds to hold life, TPD, income protection, and terminal illness benefits on behalf of members — often without clearly communicating this.
SuperSearch is a simple starting point for people who want clarity before deciding what to do next — no government portal navigation, no jargon, no obligation.
SuperSearch is designed to help identify
- Lost or inactive super accounts
- Multiple super accounts across different funds
- Insurance cover attached to a super fund
- Possible next steps if something relevant is found

Discovery scope
What SuperSearch may find
Lost or unclaimed super
Super held by the ATO or linked to accounts you may have lost track of after changing jobs, moving, or life events.
Inactive or forgotten accounts
Older super accounts that may no longer receive contributions but could still hold a balance.
Multiple super accounts
Accounts across different funds that may have built up over your working life.
Insurance cover within super
Life, TPD, income protection, or terminal illness cover that may be attached to a super fund.
A possible claim pathway
If insurance cover exists and you may be eligible to claim, we’ll explain the next step clearly.
Need for further review
Some results may need closer review before a recommendation can be made. We’ll let you know what that involves.
