This year, for the first time, as well as posting a hard-copy of the Lifetime Pension Declaration forms to our Pension Members, we are also emailing you with a link to the form.
It gives you the ability to access your Declaration form wherever you are in the world.
You only need to return one of the forms.
It’s up to you to choose which of the forms you wish to use – whether you use the form that is posted to you or the form that you can find here:
Where can I find the form?
Click on the blue “Get the form” button above or click on the link in your email to download the online version of the form.
Or check your letterbox for a hard-copy version of the form.
Do I have to send back both forms?
No.
You’ll receive a form by post, as well as by an email including a link to access the form. However, you only need to return one of the forms to us.
Why do I have to print the form?
At this stage, we still need a written signature, rather than a digital signature, from you and your witness.
If you are travelling, you may be able to ask at a local library or stationers for them to print the form for you. They may charge a small fee for this service, so check this with them.
How do I complete and return the emailed form?
You can enter your details on the screen, but you will need to print your emailed form to sign it, and for your witness to sign it. Or you can print the form and complete it by hand before you and your witness sign it.
You will then need to return the form to us. You can choose if you want to:
1. scan and email the form back to us
- electricsuper@mercer.com, or
2. post it in an Australia Post letterbox to the Reply Paid Address.

I’m overseas. What address should I use?
If you are currently outside of Australia, you can email the form back.
Alternatively, you should return your form to us at the GPO Box address (you will need to attach a stamp):
ElectricSuper
GPO Box 4303
Melbourne VIC 3001
When do I have to return the form?
You should send your completed, signed and witnessed form back to us as soon as possible.
If you send the form back within 28 days, you will have the greatest chance of your pension payments continuing without interruption.
Can I opt to only receive email forms in the future?
Unfortunately not at this stage. You will continue to receive a paper-based form and an emailed link to the form.
Using both these methods gives our members the best chance of receiving (and therefore completing) a form to ensure that lifetime pension payments continue.
