End‑of‑Financial‑Year Super Checklist for Australians

As 30 June approaches, it’s the perfect time to make sure your superannuation is working as hard as you are. A few smart moves now can boost your retirement savings, improve tax efficiency, and set you up for a stronger financial future.

1. Review Your Super Contributions

Take a quick look at:

  • Employer (SG) contributions
  • Any salary sacrifice arrangements
  • Any personal deductible contributions

Make sure you’re on track and not exceeding caps.

2. Consider a Top‑Up (If It Suits You)

EOFY is a great time to think about:

  • Personal deductible contributions (for a potential tax deduction)
  • Non‑concessional contributions to grow your balance
  • Using the bring‑forward rule if you’re planning a larger contribution

3. Check Your Total Super Balance (TSB)

Your TSB affects:

  • Whether you can make non‑concessional contributions
  • Your bring‑forward eligibility
  • Your ability to use various super strategies

Knowing where you stand now helps you plan before 30 June.

4. Review Investment Options

Take the opportunity to check your:

  • Risk profile
  • Investment mix
  • Long‑term performance

Your fund should match your goals – not your guesswork.

5. Ensure Your Beneficiaries Are Up to Date

Life changes. Your binding death benefit nomination should
reflect that.
