From 1 July 2005, choice of fund rules came into effect, giving most Australian employees the option to choose the fund into which their employers paid their superannuation contributions. In practice, over 75% of workers remained with their employer’s default fund, which is usually an industry superannuation fund. From this time, industry super funds were also no longer required to be industry-specific, and most became open to membership by a majority of Australian workers. Such open funds are called public offer funds. Since 1 January 2014, employers must pay all default super guarantee contributions (minimum employer contributions) into approved MySuper accounts, unless an employee has chosen their own investment option. otherwise.
