Apply for a MySuper or eligible rollover fund authorisation

Who needs to be authorised?

A registrable superannuation entity (RSE) licensee that intends to offer a MySuper product or operate a regulated superannuation fund as an eligible rollover fund (ERF), must seek authorisation from APRA. RSE licensees must apply for authorisation for each MySuper product they wish to offer.

APRA cannot authorise a MySuper product for a fund that has fewer than five members or is an ERF. Only public offer-class RSE licensees may operate an ERF.

MySuper products and ERF authorisations can only be issued to RSE licence holders in respect of a registered APRA-regulated superannuation fund (RSE). If you wish to apply for an RSE licence and/or register an RSE, you need to apply via the approved forms available on the licensing section.

Application guidelines

For more information on MySuper and ERF authorisation, see the relevant instruction guide. The guidelines outline APRA’s authorisation process for MySuper and ERFs, including the minimum criteria to be addressed by applicants and the necessary information required to be lodged with an application.

All applications must be lodged using the online application form.

MySuper frequently asked questions

Before you lodge your application for MySuper or ERF authorisation, ensure you have read and are familiar with the prudential framework for superannuation, including relevant legislation, prudential standards and prudential practice guides. 

Application form

How to access online forms

  • Use your RSE licensee (i.e. Trustee) ABN with your myGovID
  • Select the RSE (i.e. superannuation fund) you wish to nominate
  • Select application type (i.e. for MySuper - Generic, Large Employer, Material Goodwill)

You can only lodge MySuper and ERF with APRA using a myGovID that has been issued to a Trustee ABN. If you have a myGovID that has been issued to a Fund ABN, you cannot lodge the MySuper and ERF forms with APRA.
