Just Joined MilitarySuper?
What makes MilitarySuper a great Scheme?
Membership of an employer-subsidised superannuation scheme like MilitarySuper provides you an income when you leave the workforce, and helps provide security during your working life by covering you and your dependants in the event of invalidity retirement or death. Invalidity and death cover is provided at no cost to Members.
New Members often want to know 'What are the benefits of MilitarySuper?' and 'What makes MilitarySuper different from other schemes?'.
Unlike other schemes, MilitarySuper is specifically designed to meet the needs of Members of the Australian Defence Force (ADF).
As a Member of MilitarySuper, you enjoy:
- A significant Employer Benefit (18% to 28% of final average salary per year of service) which is government guaranteed and not directly linked to investment performance.
- Excellent invalidity and dependants' benefits.
- An attractive pension option. Pensions are indexed twice a year to keep up with inflation.
- No administration fees or charges.
- A Member Benefit which accumulates separately from your Employer Benefit.
- The opportunity to make voluntary ancillary contributions
And now, you have the flexibility to choose an investment strategy for your Member and ancillary contributions that suits your objectives.
MilitarySuper offers you:
- retirement benefits that become fully available when you leave the workforce after reaching your preservation age; View Fact Sheet 'About to Leave The ADF' (PDF 803 KB)
- invalidity benefits if you are forced to leave for medical reasons; View Fact Sheet 'Invalidity Benefits' (PDF 725 KB)
- benefits to your dependants when you die, View Fact Sheet 'Dependants' Benefits' (PDF 595 KB) and
- a range of voluntary Ancillary Benefits.
Your Guide to Investment Choice
You now have the flexibility to choose an investment strategy for your Member benefit (and any Ancillary Benefit) that suits your objectives.
From 1 July 2003 MilitarySuper has offered a range of investment strategies in which you can choose how to invest your Member Benefit (and any Ancillary Benefit). Investment choice is not relevant to your Employer Benefit.
For more information about your MilitarySuper investment choices see Investment Choices and the publication Take control of your future - Your Guide to InvestmentChoice (PDF, 2.52MB).
