I worked in Australia for six years during the 1990s. Now back here, I am contributing to the Kiwi Wealth KiwiSaver scheme. About three years ago I attempted to repatriate my funds back to New Zealand, but to no avail. I have jumped through more hoops than a circus performer. My Aussie money is in the AMP Rollover fund and there is about AUD$7600 there. I have provided them with all my work records, passport photo and everything, but still no joy - it's blood from a stone stuff. What can I do?
It sounds like you have been doing all the hard work on your own. You need to work more closely with your provider, in your case Kiwi Wealth (owned by Kiwi Bank).
They provide members with an authority to transfer form, which asks for all the information on your Australian Super.
Kiwi Wealth will also need a recent statement or membership certificate from your Australian scheme.
Once these documents are received, they will contact the Australian scheme requesting the appropriate transfer documentation. It is important that your Australian scheme has your current contact details, as in most instances they will send transfer forms directly to you.
