MemberOnline

MemberOnline is owned and operated by UniSuper Management on behalf of the Trustee of UniSuper.
You acknowledge that all rights (including copyright), title and interest, including all intellectual property rights, in MemberOnline and its component parts are the sole and exclusive property of UniSuper Management. You must not engage in any conduct or use of MemberOnline in any manner that infringes the intellectual property rights of UniSuper Management or UniSuper.
You agree not to reproduce, frame, transmit, broadcast, adapt, distribute, modify, reverse assemble or reverse compile MemberOnline, or any of its component parts. You also agree not to reproduce or use any of the copyright material or trademarks displayed on MemberOnline.
The Trust Deed and superannuation legislation govern the operation and management of UniSuper and where there is a conflict between the contents or the information on MemberOnline and the Trust Deed (which encompasses the governing rules of the fund) the Trust Deed will prevail.

Access and Use

You can only be given access to MemberOnline after completing the registration process. If your registration is accepted, you will be issued with a confidential Username and Password and you will be recognised as a Registered User. Your Username and Password are used in order to protect your UniSuper account and personal information security.
We reserve the right to refuse registration to any person at our discretion. We also reserve the right to deny or restrict a Registered User's access to MemberOnline or to certain functionalities on MemberOnline.
Access to MemberOnline is only permitted to you whilst you are a Registered User and hold a valid Username and Password.
You acknowledge and agree that you are responsible for ensuring that your Username and Password are kept confidential and not disclosed to any other person.
Your Username and Password will enable anyone who correctly uses them to access your UniSuper account information and carry out any Action for which designated user rights have been provided to you. Any Actions by a person who has accessed MemberOnline using your allocated Username and Password will be deemed to be made by you or with your authority.
If you believe that your Username or Password may have been compromised, lost or misplaced you must notify us immediately. You agree to provide us with all assistance we require in investigating any unauthorised use.
You further acknowledge and accept that we reserve the right to reissue a replacement Username and/or Password and take such other action that we consider reasonably necessary in order to protect the security of your account.
A person who is not a current Member may be accepted as a Registered User. This may occur when a UniSuper participating employer enters a person's details on UniSuper's systems in anticipation that a person will later become a Member. Neither the registration to use MemberOnline, nor the provision of access to MemberOnline, constitutes the acceptance of a person as a Member. There are two ways in which a person may become a Member:
- You meet the eligibility criteria, you have made an application to join UniSuper with the required form and we have accepted your application, or
- You meet the eligibility criteria, and your employer has signed a deed to participate in UniSuper and made contributions on your behalf.
If you have not satisfied either of the above criteria, then it is unlikely that you are a Member and, therefore, you should not rely upon the information contained on MemberOnline in any way.
Your access to MemberOnline may be varied, suspended or cancelled at any time without notice or for reasons beyond UniSuper Management’s control. You agree that UniSuper Management or the Trustee will not be liable for any interruption, variation, suspension or cancellation of the website.
You can apply to cancel your registration for MemberOnline in writing at any time by email to enquiry@unisuper.com.au or mail to UniSuper, Level 1/385 Bourke St, Melbourne, Victoria, 3000. Cancellation will take effect when we revoke your status as a Registered User. We will confirm the revocation via your member communication preference specified on MemberOnline on the date of revocation
If you are redirected to a page on the UniSuper website when using MemberOnline, you will also be subject to the Terms and Conditions of use of the UniSuper website.
If you wish to use certain tools available on MemberOnline, including MemberOnline forms, you may be required to accept additional acknowledgements or Terms and Conditions prior to such use.
You must not introduce or spread any software contamination, including computer viruses and the like when using MemberOnline.
You must not use this website in a manner that breaches, or is likely to breach any law or relevant code of conduct or that infringes any person's rights, including any conduct that would require UniSuper Management or UniSuper or any of its directors, officers, employees and associates to remedy any loss or damage occasioned by such activity.
