Co-contribution

What is a co-contribution payment?

A superannuation co-contribution payment is a government contribution into your super account that partially or fully matches a personal contribution. The amount the government gives you is dependent on your assessable income – usually meaning that the less you earn, the more you will get from the government.

Are you eligible?

  • If you earn less than $61,920 in the 2011/2012 financial year
    (assessable income, reportable fringe benefits, and reportable employer super contributions, less any allowable business deductions)
  • and are aged less than 71 years...
 

...then you may be entitled to a co-contribution of up to $1,000 on contributions you pay to Catholic Super from your after tax income. Refer to our co-contribution fact sheet for a full list of eligibility conditions.

The co-contribution amount reduces for incomes between $61,920 and $31,920*. At $31,920 or less you could get the whole $1,000.

Use our simple co-contribution calculator to see how much of the co-contribution you are entitled to if you make a personal contribution.

Use BPAY® to make a payment to your super account
You'll need our Biller Code and also your unique BPAY Reference number which you can find by logging into Member Online or by contacting us.
