Add a new Member to the SMSF

Trustees in an SMSF can add a new Member to the SMSF.

The steps to add a Member to the SMSF are as follows:

1. Minute the Trustee decision to add the Member. Download a Minute template here

2. The new Member needs to sign an application to be a Member, see a sample here

3. The ATO needs to be notified of the new Member. Superannuation Warehouse is a Tax Agent and will perform this function for you Fund (we do not charge a fee for this). Click here to contact us. The info we will need to add in the new Member are as follows:

If Trustees instruct Superannuation Warehouse to update the Member details with the Tax Office, we will send you the minutes and application forms as explained above. You just need to send us the new Member’s personal details, as indicated in the point above. We charge a fee of $350 to update the Member details including updating the Trust Deed to reflect the new Member. For more information on our fee, please see the fee schedule page.
