Gold State Super is a super scheme that was open to WA public sector employees until 1995.

Gold State Super is a defined benefit super scheme, which means your final Gold State Super benefit is determined by applying a fixed, or 'defined', formula. Gold State Super is not market linked, and so is not impacted by the performance of investment markets.

Exclusive benefits of Gold State Super

Your Gold State Super account is a rare scheme closed to new members with exclusive benefits, including:

• Benefit guaranteed by the WA State Government.
• Gold State Super is an untaxed fund, which means you don't pay tax until your benefit is paid to you or rolled over to a taxed fund.
• Defined benefit, which means you can be certain of how much you will have when you retire, as Gold State Super is insulated from the performance of investment markets.
• No fees.
• Automatic death and disability insurance at no cost.
• Accumulate up to $1.205m* in concessionally taxed benefits.
• Maintain benefits at a higher salary level, when a change in employment conditions results in a lower salary.

*Lifetime limit, indexed annually. Please refer to our Tax and your super fact sheet for further information.
