Your Options Following the Hejaz Islamic Division Closure


We have received many questions from Hejaz members following the Significant Event Notice (SEN) announcing the closure of the Hejaz Islamic Division. This page explains what the changes mean, the options available and the steps you may need to take.

If you have a Hejaz Islamic Super or Hejaz Islamic Pension account, through the Fund Hejaz Islamic Division, you will need to decide where your future contributions are paid and where your existing balance is transferred.

To help you understand your options, we have brought together the important deadlines and practical steps you may need to take.

From the SEN

Important Deadlines: 

30 September 2026

Hejaz Islamic Super will stop accepting employer, salary-sacrifice, personal and rollover contributions from this date. This means you will need to open a new superannuation account and give the details of this new superannuation account to your employer as soon as possible.

10 October 2026

You will receive an initial payment to your new superannuation account on, or around, this date. The initial payment will depend on the investment option you have chosen. Visit the Hejaz member portal to find out what percentage your initial payment will be.

12 October 2026

This is the last chance you have to advise Hejaz of your new superannuation account details. If Hejaz doesn’t receive your new superannuation account details by this date your balance will be transferred to the ATO.

12 October 2026

End of February 2027

It is expected that your remaining balance will be paid to your new superannuation fund by this date.

Practical Steps:

If remaining aligned with Islamic principles is important to you, you may wish to consider Salaam superannuation.

Step 2

Redirect your future contributions

Once your new account is open, provide your employer with your membership number, the fund’s compliance letter and a completed choice-of-fund form.

For Salaam superannuation these forms can be found here:

Super Choice Form

Step 3

Nominate a fund to receive your Hejaz balance

Ask your new fund to initiate a rollover or submit the required transfer instruction directly to Hejaz.

Hejaz must receive your instructions by 12 October 2026, to avoid your superannuation benefit being transferred to the ATO.

Step 4

Check your insurance and any other benefits before transferring

Changing super funds may affect any life, total and permanent disability or income-protection insurance you hold through Hejaz.

Check your existing cover and confirm what replacement cover is available before it ends.

Step 5

Check your myGov account

You can use the ATO online services through your myGov account at any time to check for any super the ATO may be holding for you (including from Hejaz) or that may be held by other funds.

You can also use this service to rollover any amounts to your nominated fund.  

Answers to Your Questions

Others frequently ask...

  • You should consider opening another super account, redirecting future employer and personal contributions, and completing the relevant process to rollover your Hejaz balance to your new fund. You should also check how changing funds may affect any insurance you hold through Hejaz.

  • Hejaz will stop accepting contributions and transfers from 30 September 2026. Hejaz must receive your instructions nominating a receiving fund by 12 October 2026 if you do not want your benefit transferred to the ATO. 
  • No. The Significant Event Notice says benefits are expected to be transferred in two transactions, an initial transfer in October 2026 and a final transfer around February 2027. The amounts and timing may change. Visit the Hejaz member portal to find out more details about your payments. 

  • Your benefit will be transferred to the ATO. However, your super is not lost if this happens. You will be able to use ATO online services through myGov to nominate another fund to receive this ATO-held super. Importantly, if your super is transferred to the ATO it may no longer be Shariah compliant.

  • Any insurance cover connected to your Hejaz account may end when the account closes or if there is not enough money remaining to pay the premiums. Before transferring, check your current cover and whether you can obtain suitable replacement cover through another fund or an insurer. 

  • Your super is an Amanah – a trust. At Salaam, we honour that trust by ensuring every part of your super is structured, overseen and managed in line with Islamic principles. Our Shariah advisors, Dar Al Sharia, are a leading global group of Islamic finance scholars. They independently review and certify our investments, provide rulings and guidance, and audit our processes to ensure they remain in line with Islamic standards. Find out more about how Shariah compliance works in practice at Salaam here. 

  • Salaam superannuation is issued and legally overseen by Total Risk Management Pty Limited (TRM), the trustee of the Russell Investments Master Trust (RIMT). Salaam superannuation operates as a division of the RIMT. We follow the AAOIFI global Islamic standard, ensuring every investment aligns with Islamic principles and avoids prohibited industries or financial practices. We also work with Dar-Al-Shariah to provide independent Shariah oversight. 

  • Salaam can provide its compliance letter and employer choice form and help you understand how to request a rollover. Hejaz remains responsible for processing the payments and determining their timing and value.

  • Log in to the online member portal of your nominated super fund to check your account balance and transaction history. Transfers are expected to be made in two stages, an initial transfer on or around 10 October 2026 and a final transfer by the end of February 2027. These dates are estimates and may change. 
  • Contact the Salaam superannuation team on 1300 926 626 if you would like help understanding the joining, employer-contribution or rollover process. 
  • No. Neither Salaam, nor TRM, is affiliated with Hejaz Financial Services, AMG Super or Equity Trustees. Information about the Hejaz Islamic Division on this page is based on the Significant Event Notice provided to Hejaz members. You may choose any eligible complying superannuation fund.
