Take advantage of government incentives

Incentive 1: Super co-contribution

How it works

If you make a personal contribution to your super, the government automatically gives eligible members some extra money into your super account too.

Example - How Alex was given $300


Alex is in second last year of studying engineering and earns $18,000. He decides to transfer an extra $600 into his super account via BPAY. Easy.
That’s all Alex has to do, other than lodge his normal tax return.
Because he earns less than the lower threshold of $43,445 in FY2023-24, the government will add an extra 50% of Alex’s contribution to his super account. The ATO automatically deposits the extra $300 into his super account.
The government caps the co-contribution at $500.
Next financial year, Alex plans to deposit $1,000, so he gets the maximum possible co-contribution of $500.
Alex is just an example and not a real person.

Don’t leave it until the last minute!

To make sure we receive and allocate your personal contribution before the end of the financial year, make your BPAY transfer at least 7 days before the end of the financial year.
