Investors can transfer funds between Australian complying super schemes and KiwiSaver schemes. The SuperLife KiwiSaver scheme is the ideal home for Australian super – we offer both low fees and a broad range of investment options to suit your circumstances. More importantly, exceptional customer service is at the core of our philosophy.

You can keep track of your KiwiSaver balance with our mobile app, and change your investment strategy anytime, free of charge.

If you’ve decided you want to make a transfer, you’ll need to contact your Australian provider or providers to apply to transfer your funds to your KiwiSaver Scheme account. They’ll provide you with the forms to complete and let you know any other documentation they need.

We’ll contact you after your Australian provider has transferred your funds to us and we have added them to your KiwiSaver Scheme account. It may take up to 60 days for your Australian provider to transfer the funds to your KiwiSaver account.
