I'm a kiwi and have a super back home. I'm wanting to transfer my superannuation over to an Australian one but am having trouble finding one that allows kiwi saver to one super in Australia. My current one won't allow this.

Any help much appreciated

I did a bit of Googling and, as at May 2018, three Australian super funds are reportedly accepting transfers from NZ: WA Super, FIRST Super and Energy Super.

There's no requirement on super funds to accept or facilitate a transfer, so check with them first.

Transfer to a Kiwi fund that allows transfers to Aus. Then follow Rob's advice. Then transfer to prefered Aussie super fund.
