Superannuation

We contribute up to 12.75 per cent of your salary into superannuation.

The main superannuation fund used by Queensland Government departments is QSuper. However, if you are member of another super fund or prefer not to use QSuper, you can choose your own superannuation fund. If you don’t choose another fund, your superannuation contributions will be made to QSuper as the Queensland Government’s default fund for our employees. 

Salary packaging

Salary packaging (also known as 'salary sacrifice') allows eligible employees to pay for expenses with money from their salary before tax is taken out. By reducing your pre-tax income, you reduce the amount of income tax you pay, and therefore increase the amount of pay you take home each fortnight. We use RemServ and SmartSalary to manage employees' salary packaging arrangements.

Eligible health service employees may be able to sacrifice expenses including: 

  • mortgage repayments
  • rent
  • additional superannuation contributions
  • utilities (electricity, gas etc) costs
  • insurance
  • novated car leases
  • private school fees

You are eligible to participate in salary sacrifice arrangements if your employment is:

  • permanent full or part-time
  • temporary full or part-time
  • long-term casual—employed on a regular and systematic basis for 12 months or more

To find out more about your salary packaging options contact either RemServ on 1300 304 010 or SmartSalary on 1300 218 598

A non-salary sacrifice or employer-provided fringe benefit is provided by the department or a Hospital and Health Service (HHS).

The FBT exemption cap is not an employee entitlement. It’s a tax concession for some categories of employers under the FBT legislation.
