In Australia, there is a compulsory superannuation scheme (commonly known as “super”) to help people save for retirement.
By law, employers must pay a percentage of your wages into a superannuation fund on your behalf.
These funds can be accessed when you retire.
You will need to choose a super fund so your employer can pay these payments for you.
As temporary residents, international students who have worked in Australia are eligible to access their superannuation after they permanently leave the country.
Information on how to access these funds are available on the Australian Taxation Office website.
