RETIREMENT SCHEME (DIVISION B)

Who can join?

The Scheme is closed to new members, except for:

  • persons taking up employment with an Energy Industries employer and as part of this employment wish to transfer their membership in the State Authorities Superannuation Scheme (SASS) or the Local Government Retirement Scheme; and
  • certain members of the Scheme and the Defined Benefit Scheme who have suffered a 20% salary reduction and have taken up an option to defer their accrued benefit in their respective Scheme.

Summary of the Scheme

The Scheme is a split benefit type scheme for certain employees of participating employers who are Energy Industries bodies in NSW. The Scheme is closed to new employees of participating employers unless statutory requirements are met (refer to the PDS).

The Scheme has been designed to provide you with flexible superannuation that you can tailor to address your lifestyle needs, both now and in retirement.

Your employer contributes to the Scheme on your behalf. Your contribution level determines the pace at which you build up your retirement benefits.

The Scheme provides benefits in the event of your death, invalidity and on leaving employment with a participating employer.

If you are no longer employed by a participating employer, in certain circumstances you may retain your benefits in the Scheme as a deferred member, but a deferred member cannot make any further contributions to the Scheme.

The Scheme is governed by a Trust Deed. When you join the Scheme you agree to be bound by the Trust Deed.

Warning: Due to superannuation laws and depending on their circumstances, members may not be able to make cash withdrawals whenever they wish.

BASIC BENEFIT (DIVISION C)

Who can join?

Summary of the Scheme
