They can pay it quarterly, weekly, fortnightly, monthly... Maybe just ask them first when you can expect your super to be paid? Even make up the excuse of wanting to consolidate all your super accounts into one account if you want to.

I "dobbed" in my old employer to the tax office. I worked there for about 15-16 months and was never paid a cent in super. I called them a couple of months ago to lodge a claim, it was pretty simple, they just ask you lots of questions, and just make sure you have all the employer's details, the super fund it was supposed to be paid into and your tax file number etc handy. It does take a long time though, so don't expect the money straight away, it can take up to a few years for the investigation to be finalised. I lodged mine in October and still haven't heard how it is progressing.

This website may help, I apologise if I'm not allowed to post it...mods feel free to delete if it's not allowed! Unpaid super. What process does the Tax Office follow to investigate unpaid super?
