Contributions
The Queensland Government will contribute to your superannuation scheme up to 12.75% of your annual salary.
Most new QSuper members (except casual employees and Police Officers) start paying standard contributions of 5% of salary, while your employer contributes 12.75%. You can choose to pay less than 5% (to a minimum of 2%), however, this means your employer also pays less. The table below shows how much your employer pays depending on your own contributions.
| You pay | Your employer pays |
| 2% | 9.75% |
| 3% | 10.75% |
| 4% | 11.75% |
| 5% | 12.75% |
Police Officers
Police Officers have different superannuation contribution rates and insurance premiums to other employees. You start by contributing 6% of your salary, while your employer contributes 18%. You can choose to pay less than 6% (to a minimum of 3%). The table below shows how much your employer pays depending on your own contributions.
| You pay | Your employer pays |
| 3% | 12% |
| 4% | 14% |
| 5% | 16% |
| 6% | 18% |
Casual employees
If you are a casual employee, you are not required to make contributions to super. However, if you do, you take advantage of extra contributions from your employer on the same scale as other government employees.
