If these members wish to switch their existing balance or future contributions between any investment options on or after 8 May 2025, they must move their entire balance and all future contributions out of the Australian Shares, International Shares or Growth options, and can only reinvest in these options if they waive their Protected Minimum Benefit. Refer to the Maritime Investment Guide for more information.

- 1 July 2026: Update to Accumulation Product Disclosure Statements

From 1 July 2026, the stamp duty on investment transactions is one-seventh
ofthe estimated stamp duty incurred for the financial year ending 30 June
2026. Where actual costs are not available the amount disclosed is based
on reasonable estimate of the costs that will be incurred. 

Here, you’ll find resources and FAQs to ensure you have everything you need.  

Important things you should know

  1. Your Unique Superannuation Identifier (USI) for all employees who were previously Maritime Super members:
    Hostplus USI: HOS0100AU 
    Hostplus ABN: 68 6574 958 90 

  2. QuickSuper users need to be using Hostplus QuickSuper.

How do I contact the Employer Services Team?

You can contact the team by calling 1800 757 607.  

When are member insurance premiums deducted?

Hostplus deducts insurance premiums from member accounts monthly in arrears. Employers who pay insurance premiums on behalf of their employees are invoiced on a monthly basis. The monthly invoice includes details on how to pay your premiums. 

What if I have both a Hostplus employer account and a Maritime Division employer account?

At the time of the merger, we endeavoured to identify instances where employers held both a Maritime Super and Hostplus account. Where we have been able to identify these instances, we’ve sought to merge those accounts. Where this has not been possible to merge accounts, we’ve kept both accounts active. If you’d like assistance with managing or removing multiple accounts, please contact us on 1800 757 607.

Does the Hostplus clearing house support a file upload from MYOB?

You’ll need an Excel CSV file format that matches the requirements of the QuickSuper CSV V2 file format or the SuperStream Alternative File Format (SAFF). 

MYOB employers can extract the required data from MYOB reports and input it manually into the QuickSuper CSV V2 file format or the SuperStream Alternative File Format (SAFF) templates. There is also the Maritime file format that is available which can potentially simplify things for you. Guides and templates for these files can be supplied by contacting us. 

What if I already paid super contributions using Hostplus QuickSuper?

As you are already an existing Hostplus employer, you’ve kept your current Hostplus employer number as well as your current QuickSuper login details. You will, however, need to update superannuation fund information for all employees that received contributions into Maritime Super to reflect their new status as Hostplus members, if you haven’t already done so. 

The USI for Maritime Super was disabled on 25 August 2023, which means that any payments made to this USI from this date may be rejected and returned. You’ll need to update the USI to HOS0100AU, you'll then be able to begin making contributions. 

For data stored in Excel CSV files, it may be helpful to use the “Find and Replace” function to update all instances of the Maritime Super USI. 

How do your employees establish a Maritime Division Account?

For an employee to have a Maritime Division member account this can only be authorised by a Full or Participating Employer e.g. via an employer contribution.  It is very helpful if the employer can advise Hostplus when they are adding a new member for the first time. 

Employee member numbers held at Maritime Super were carried across to Hostplus except in some instances where a new member number had to be created. In circumstances where a member had a Maritime Super and Hostplus account, their Maritime Super account balance was transferred to Hostplus under their existing Hostplus account.  

Your employer number was set out in your welcome documentation from Hostplus. 

We use an employer’s ABN and/or ACN to identify employers and manage contributions through our clearing house.

No matter which system you use to pay your contributions, you'll need to use the Hostplus USI for all members: 

Hostplus USI: HOS0100AU  

Hostplus ABN: 68 6574 958 90   

Contribution payments (e.g. compulsory contributions) for the Maritime Division include:  

  • mandatory employer contributions, including Super Guarantee (SG) contributions 
  • salary sacrifice arrangements; and 
  • member voluntary contributions made via employer. 

Employers who have defined benefit (DB) arrangements can make DB contributions to Hostplus as per the required employer and member contribution rates.  

We’re here to help.
