GESB Super receives your compulsory employer contributions when you are working in the WA public sector. For most members, a GESB Super account is opened automatically when you join the WA public sector.

• GESB Super is market-linked: GESB Super is an accumulation scheme that is linked to investment markets, similar to most other super funds. Your account balance builds up over time from contributions from you and your employer, as well as from investment earnings. You have a choice of investment plans, which determine what type of assets your money is invested in.
• GESB Super is a taxed account: this means your earnings and contributions are subject to tax and, depending on when you access your super benefit, tax also may be payable upon withdrawal. To find out more about tax on contributions and withdrawals, refer to our Tax and super fact sheet.
