Spouse accounts

ESSSuper has been serving those who serve our community for over 100 years.

And now your spouse can enjoy the benefits too.

Who is a spouse?

• You're in a registered marriage with, or
• Lives with you in a genuine domestic relationship as a couple (e.g. de facto).

What products are available?

An eligible spouse can open:

• Accumulation Plan
• Working Income Stream
• Retirement Income Stream

Refer to the relevant Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) for eligibility criteria.

Reduce fees for 12 months with an exclusive offer

You can both share the benefits of being in the ESSSuper family by referring your spouse or partner to join our exclusive, not-for-profit super fund.

Joining rebate
A spouse joining our Accumulation Plan or an income stream^* will receive a rebate on the account-keeping and administration fees for the first year of joining. This will be a rebate of $52 for the account-keeping fee and 0.25% of the account balance for the administration fee. On an account balance of $100,000, that's a saving of around $300!

Referral rebate
You, the referring member, will also receive a rebate of $52 on the account-keeping fee for any Accumulation Plan or Income Stream account held in their name for a period of 12 months.

Considering a spouse account?

Before opening a new account, you should consider your personal objectives, financial situation, and needs. These documents can help you:

• Spouse account fact sheet
