Redundancy doesn’t mean losing your super—take us with you

Redundancy can feel like the end of the road. One minute you’re cruising along, the next minute you’re wondering if you’ve accidentally taken the exit to ‘what now?’ It’s completely normal to worry about everything. 

But there’s one thing we can help you stop stressing about: your super.

Changing jobs doesn’t mean changing super

1. Get your PSSap or ADF Super details

    They’re right there at csc.gov.au/login

2. Give them to your new employer

    Keep those contributions rolling.

3. Return a completed Standard Choice form to your employer

   Log into your myGov account, head to ATO online services, then from the Employment menu, select New employment.

Meet Alex, 42. After 15 years in the APS, his role was made redundant. He assumed leaving government meant leaving his super fund too. But that wasn’t the case. Alex simply took his PSSap account with him to his next job. All it took was a few minutes to get his super details from CSC Navigator, a quick handover to the payroll team at his new employment, and he was back to growing his retirement savings. What initially felt like a setback became a smooth transition.

For Jedda, 51, redundancy arrived just as she was starting to think seriously about retirement. She worried her super would get sidelined when she left the APS. Instead, Jedda learned she could stay with CSC, keep her investment strategy exactly as planned, but she reviewed her insurance needs at CSC Navigator to reflect her change in circumstances—moving from secure APS employment into an uncertain period of transition. After taking some time to consider her options, Jedda accepted a part-time role with a contracting agency. She completed the Standard Choice form by logging into ATO online services via MyGov to keep her super on track while she planned her next chapter.

Staying with your CSC super is simple

Yes, redundancy is a moment of change, but it doesn’t have to derail your financial future. Keeping your super with CSC helps you avoid multiple super accounts, which can mean extra fees and insurance costs. It also allows you to keep all the existing benefits of your current CSC account. If redundancy happens, you don’t lose your super, you can take us with you.
