When you have made the decision to establish your own super fund, one of our team will be in contact with you. We will answer any questions that you may have and discuss with you the steps involved in establishing a self managed superannuation fund and appointing SuperGuardian as your fund administrator.

Once SuperGuardian has collected all the required information, received authorisation from you and the establishment fee has been paid, the Trust Deed for your fund will be established and a Tax File Number and Australian Business Number will be obtained for your fund. We will then set up a bank account for your fund, which receives your contributions and income, and pays for investments. Only you, the trustee, can authorise payments from this account. All mail relating to your super fund will be sent through the SuperGuardian office whereby we update your fund reports and make them available to you on this web site. Any correspondence requiring decisions or signatures will be forwarded directly to you.
