How to make personal contributions

AustSafe Super does not charge any fees to make extra personal contributions, and there are several easy ways you can make payments:

  1. Ask your employer to deduct a specific amount from your pay to go into your AustSafe Super account. Your employer can send the amount to us regularly with their own Superannuation Guarantee contributions.
  2. Send your own contributions by cheque, mailing them to us with written instructions to deposit the amount to your account. Remember to include your membership number and personal details so we correctly identify your account.
  3. Arrange with your bank or credit union to make a regular contribution via direct debit from your account. Contact us for more information.
  4. Ask your employer about salary sacrifice contributions - this means that your contribution is deducted from your gross salary instead of your after-tax salary. There can be tax benefits to making salary sacrifice contributions. For more information, you should consult a financial planner or tax consultant.
Making after-tax contributions (options 1, 2 & 3 above) could make you eligible for the Federal Government's Co-contribution, which will make your super grow even faster.
