What is the Standard Choice Form?
If you are eligible for Choice of Super Fund, your employer is required to provide you with a Standard Choice Form by 28 July 2005. Your employer is also required to give you a Standard Choice Form within 28 days of commencing a new job or within 28 days from the date you request one. This form contains information about your employer’s default fund, and has a section for you to nominate your chosen super fund. This form must be completed and returned, if you would like to nominate your own super fund. Changes will not be accepted without a correct and fully completed form.
Employers are required to provide employees covered under Choice with a Standard Choice Form so they can nominate an eligible choice fund to which their contributions are to be paid. The Standard Choice Form also provides details of the fund to which the employer will contribute if an employee does not choose a fund (the default fund), and information to help employees make a decision about choosing a fund.
