Whether your super contributions will change depends on your new employer’s super arrangements.
While employers are usually only required to pay super at the current compulsory rate of 9.5%, it’s a good idea to check with your employer directly to make sure you are maximising your employer contributions. Some employers have special arrangements in place. For example, they may pay super at a higher rate, or will pay more if you make extra super contributions yourself.
If you’re starting a job with a Queensland Government employer – such as Queensland Health or the Department of Education – you may be required to make 'standard contributions' of between 2% and 5% of your fortnightly salary. By making these standard contributions, your employer will pay extra into your super account, helping you grow your retirement savings. Find out more.
