Why nominating your super beneficiaries matters

2026 | 3min watch

Most of us assume that when we're gone, our super will just go to the people closest to us, or be handled by our Will if we have one in place. But that's not automatically how it works.

If you pass away without telling your super fund who you'd like your money to go to, then the super fund has to decide. That's why nominating who you want to leave you super money to matters. Luckily for Aware Super members it takes about five minutes to nominate in Member Online. Watch to learn more.
