ALITAX · Bilal Jivraj — Registered Tax Agent 25287564. Original guidance from 10+ years of DASP and tax casework.

Temporary workers most often have super with one of the funds below. Each has its own quirks, but in every case you’ll need a certified copy of your passport (in English or NAATI-translated) and your details must match the fund’s records. Tap any fund for a quick summary, then follow the link to the full step-by-step guide for that fund on super.alitax.com.au.

Australian Food Super⌄

The industry fund for the food, meat and grocery sector (the Australian meat industry). For balances over $5,000, a certified copy of your current passport is required — certified by Australian Embassy staff, a Notary Public, a Judge, or a Justice of the Peace. For payment, they ask for a bank statement header or account confirmation letter showing your name as account holder, the account details, and the institution — an Australian account needs the BSB and account number; an international account needs the account number, SWIFT code and branch address. Payments cannot go to a third-party or business account, and overseas payments require their forms plus a release of liability form. Hotline: 1800 808 614 (8:30am–6:30pm AEST).

Not sure which fund you’re with, or have several? Many workers change jobs and end up with super in more than one fund — plus any the ATO now holds. We track down every account and claim them together, so nothing is left behind.

Not sure how this applies to you? At ALITAX we handle exactly these situations every day — and check what you’re owed in super and tax, for free.
