Grow the account
Your family member's account can receive the following types of contributions:
- Employer contributions: If your family member is working, get them to fill out the Mercer Super Choice form and return it to their employer so their future super contributions go into their new account.
- Personal contributions: Your family member can then make contributions at any time. Learn more about contributions.
Details on the new account and how to make employer/personal contributions will be provided in the welcome letter once we successfully process the application.
Here are some benefits of becoming a member:
Low admin fees
Lower admin fees can mean more savings. More savings could mean a bigger super balance. Depending on the account balance, our MySuper SmartPath standard admin fees are between 16% and 36% below the MySuper market average.1
History of positive performance
Mercer Super’s default investment option Mercer SmartPath® delivered on average 8.1% p.a. for the 10-year period to 30 June 2025 for one of our largest groups of members.2
Easy consolidation
Your family member can easily consolidate any or all other super accounts to their new Mercer Super plan account, and potentially avoid paying multiple fees.3
Valuable insurance cover
If eligible, your family member can apply for insurance cover tailored to their needs to protect them from the unexpected. They may need to complete a health questionnaire.4
Aged care service
Access for members and their families to Care & Living with Mercer, an aged care support service at no additional cost.
A super plan for life
Even if you leave your current employer, you and your family member can still stay in the plan, taking advantage of all the same benefits.
What will happen with your family member’s money?
When your family member joins, their super will be invested in Mercer SmartPath, which is the default investment option.
SmartPath looks at your life stage and then gives you the most suitable investments. We call this a ‘whole of life’ approach.
So, when you’re younger, your super is invested in ways designed to help it grow – like shares. Over time and when retirement is on the horizon, your investments will change to protect you against market ups and down – for example, you’ll more likely invest in options like cash and term deposits.

3. Combining your super can be a significant financial decision. If you decide to combine all or part of your other super account(s), carefully consider how this may have an impact on your existing insurance, contribution and tax arrangements, fees or charges, or any other benefits you may lose. If you intend to claim a tax deduction on your personal contributions, you will need to provide your existing fund with a notice of intent to claim and receive confirmation it's been processed before combining your super. We recommend you seek financial advice before deciding whether to combine your super accounts.
4. Full details on eligibility, the types of insurance cover offered within the Plan, and if the plan provides insurance cover without an application (automatically) is in the PDS and the ‘Your Plan Fees and Benefits Details’ booklet. See the PDS and your YPF&B booklet for details.
