What kind of contributions can I make?

There are two types of contributions you can make:

• post-tax: you generally arrange on your own contributions and use BPAY or send us a cheque
• pre-tax: you can arrange through your employer to take out of your salary each pay period. To start, contact your Payroll department and they will let you know what to do

There are limits

There are annual limits on how much you can contribute to your super each year and receive tax concessions. If you log into your SuperOnline account you can see how you are tracking towards your pre-tax contribution limit.

There's never been a better time to get started.  The sooner you start the greater potential for your final balance.
