Workforce App - SuperReady

This article summarises the Workforce App updates for the SuperReady feature, introduced to support Superannuation Compliance in line with ATO guidelines.

Choice of Super Fund

The Choice of Super Fund feature is introduced in the Workforce App as part of the SuperReady enhancements. This feature enables members to view, select, and update their superannuation fund details directly within the app.

This enhancement supports accurate management of superannuation information and ensures compliance with Australian Taxation Office (ATO) requirements. The feature also integrates with Flare to maintain up-to-date fund details and facilitate seamless processing of superannuation contributions.

Through this functionality, members can manage their superannuation preferences efficiently, ensuring that contributions are directed to the correct fund in accordance with SuperReady requirements.

How to Access the Choice of Super Fund?

To access the Choice of Super Fund menu:

  • Tap the Hamburger Menu 
  • Select the Choice of Super Fund (as shown in the figure below)

Choice of Super Fund menu

Tax Information

The Choice of Superannuation Fund option is available only after the TFN Declaration or ABN Declaration (for subcontractors) details are submitted in the Tax Information section.

Set the Declare TFN & Connect ATO (Super Selection & Stapled Fund) flag to True to enable TFN declarations and connect with the ATO via Flare integration in the Super Compliance Services section of the SuperReady Setup & Authorisation. When this flag is set to True, tax information details are submitted directly to the ATO.

If the tax information has not been completed, a system prompt will appear requesting you to declare your tax details. Click OK and provide and submit the necessary information in the Tax Information tab.

This is mandatory to establish the employer–employee relationship to retrieve an employee’s stapled fund during super selection. Tax information (including TFN declaration) must be submitted to the ATO, as this enables the ATO to validate the relationship and return the stapled fund details.

SuperReady Status

The Choice of Super Fund displays the SuperReady Status for each member. This status is shown only when the SuperReady Effective Date has reached.

This SuperReady Status indicates whether a member is ready for super contribution processing, based on the successful validation and registration of their super fund details. For detailed information, refer to Super Status Update and System Behaviour.

For existing members, the default SuperReady Status is Not Ready. This status also appears for members who do not have a super fund configured.


When you click the SuperReady Status button, you will be redirected to the Member Super Health Dashboard. The Member Super Health page shows the member’s overall Super Status, along with other related statuses such as Member Verification Request (MVR) and Member Registration Response (MRR), TFN Declaration Status. 

The members can view their own records and cannot perform any actions. Note that the Member Super Health feature will be available soon. Stay Connected.

What Happens When You Access Super Fund?

Select New Super Fund

When you access the Superannuation Choice Selection screen for the first time, the Superannuation option is not pre-selected. 

You can select from the following fund types:

  • Default Fund – Displays the employer’s default superannuation fund
  • Existing Fund (Ordinary Fund) – Displays an APRA-regulated superannuation fund
  • Self-Managed Fund (SMSF) – Displays a self-managed superannuation fund
  • Stapled Fund – The stapled fund is identified as either an APRA-regulated superannuation fund or a Self-Managed Superannuation Fund (SMSF), based on the type of stapled fund.


    Stapled fund details cannot be retrieved for subcontractors, as TFN declarations are not submitted to the ATO for them.

    To retrieve stapled fund details, the Declare TFN & Connect ATO (Super Selection & Stapled Fund) flag must be set to True, and Flare registration must be completed via Flare HR – TFN Declaration & Stapled Fund settings. This is completed along with the required Flare authorisation [coming soon].

  • When selected, the fund will be displayed with a label based on its type:

    • APRA Stapled Fund: [Fund Name] (Stapled – APRA)
    • SMSF Stapled Fund: [Fund Name] (Stapled – SMSF)

The selected fund is automatically displayed in the Superannuation Choice Selection screen. Once selected, the chosen fund will be used for all future superannuation contributions.

A Stapled Fund is an employee’s existing superannuation fund that follows them when they change jobs. 

What happens when Super is saved, and MVR or MRR is enabled, click to view the detailed information. 

Existing Super Fund

In the Choice of Super Fund screen, your currently selected superannuation fund is displayed in read-only mode.

If you wish to update your fund:

  • Click Superannuation Selection to choose a different fund
  • The system validates whether the employer’s default superannuation fund details are current in Flare
  • If the details are not up to date, the system automatically updates and sends the information to Flare

This ensures your business is correctly identified for interactions with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), in line with Flare’s requirements.

When using this feature for the first time, you must select a new super fund or link an existing fund to enable processing of future superannuation contributions.
