Employer contributions
Whether you’re working for Queensland local government or another employer, you can have your employer contribute to your LGsuper account.
Local government employees
If you’re a permanent local government employee, you automatically pay 6% of your salary as standard member contributions and receive a higher employer contribution of 12% after 12 months of employment. You can choose to start making these contributions any time in this 12 month period.
Other local government employees receive 9% of their salary in contributions to their account, in line with Australian Government legislation.
Other employees and spouses
We can accept contributions from any employer on your behalf. If you would like your employer to contribute to LGsuper, here’s what to do:
- Read the Accumulation account, Retained Benefit account & Spouse account guide (PDS).
- Complete the Choice of superannuation fund form and hand it to your HR area.
