If you make extra after-tax contributions to your super, you may be eligible for a government co-contribution.

The Commonwealth government will match part or all of your after-tax contributions, up to $1,000, if you earn less than $61,920¹ during the financial year. This means for every dollar you contribute, the government will also contribute up to one dollar, depending on the amount of your assessable income.

How to receive a government co-contribution

You don't need to apply to receive a government co-contribution. Provided you earn less than $61,920¹ during the financial year, it will automatically be added to your GESB account after you complete your annual tax return.

To make an after-tax contribution to your super:

• Complete the Payroll deduction form and submit it to your employer
• Make payments over $20 via BPAY®  - reference number available in Member Online
• By cheque or money order with a completed Super contributions form

¹Assessable income (plus reportable fringe benefits and reportable employer superannuation contributions) for income earned in 2011/12.
