About this Product Disclosure Statement

This Product Disclosure Statement (PDS) is a summary of significant information
and contains a number of references to important information (each of which forms
part of the PDS). You should consider that information before making a decision
about the product.
The information provided in the PDS is general information only and doesn’t take into
account your personal financial situation or needs. You should obtain financial advice
tailored to your personal circumstances.

2 How super works
Super is an important way for you to save for retirement.
Super is an investment for your future and the sooner money starts going into
your account, the better off you’ll be when you retire. That’s because over the long
term your super grows from investment returns and money that’s added to your
account regularly.
There are a number of ways money can be added (contributed) to your account.
Superannuation Guarantee contributions
Employers pay a compulsory contribution to your super known as the
Superannuation Guarantee (SG). Currently this is 9.5% of your annual salary
(subject to salary cap) and comes from your before-tax income.
There are also other types of contributions that could help you grow your super.
Personal contributions
› Before tax* – includes salary sacrifice contributions made by you, any personal
contributions you claim a tax deduction for and voluntary contributions made
by your employer for which they claim a tax deduction.
› After tax* – includes any extra additional contributions you make from your
take-home pay, for which you don’t advise us you wish to claim a tax deduction.
Government Co-contributions
Depending on your income, you may be eligible to receive Government
Co-contributions if you make after-tax contributions to your super.
To find out if you’re eligible, visit australiansuper.com/CoContributions

Useful information to know

Tax breaks and incentives are provided by the Government to encourage you
to save more for retirement and grow your super over time.
You generally can’t access your super savings until you’re 55 or over
(depending on the year you were born). To learn more about preservation age,
visit australiansuper.com/AccessYourSuper
It’s your super, it’s your choice
Normally you can tell your employer where you want your super to be paid. But in
some cases, it depends on your employment contract. If you don’t make a choice
or tell your employer where you want your super paid, they’ll pay your contributions
into their preferred super fund.

* Depending on your income and personal circumstances, you may be better off contributing before
or after tax, or using a combination of both. The Government places limits on the amount that can
be contributed to super. To learn more, visit australiansuper.com/InfoTax

4 Risks of super
All investments, including super, have some risk.
How you invest your super will depend on your age, how long you’ll invest your
super, other investments you may have and your tolerance for volatility. Volatility
is when the returns on your investment go up and down over a period of time.
The level of volatility your super investment could have will depend on the types
of assets that your super is invested in. Assets are investments such as shares,
property, fixed interest or cash.
Different types of assets have different levels of potential return and volatility.
Generally, higher returns are accompanied by greater potential for volatility in
the short term.
You can choose from a range of investment options, each with a different mix of
assets. So, the likely investment return and the level of potential volatility of returns
involved is different for each option.
What you need to think about
When considering your super, it’s important to understand that:
› investment returns may go up and down over time and the value of investments
will vary, so the value of your super may also go up and down
› investing too conservatively can be risky because over the long term your
investment may not earn a return above the inflation rate
› returns aren’t guaranteed, and you may lose some of your money
› past returns aren’t a reliable indicator of future returns
› the laws affecting your super may change
› the amount of your future super savings (including contributions and returns)
may not be enough for your retirement.

6 Fees and costs
Did you know?
Small differences in both investment performance and fees and costs can have a
substantial impact on your long-term returns. For example, total annual fees and
costs of 2% of your account balance rather than 1% could reduce your final return by
up to 20% over a 30 year period (for example, reduce it from $100,000 to $80,000).
You should consider whether features such as superior investment performance or
the provision of better member services justify higher fees and costs. You or your
employer, as applicable, may be able to negotiate to pay lower administration fees.
Ask the fund or your financial adviser.
To find out more
If you’d like to find out more, or see the impact of fees based on your own
circumstances, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission (ASIC)
website (moneysmart.gov.au) has a superannuation calculator to help you check
out different fee options.

Fees for the Balanced option

The main fees to set-up and manage your account are below. These are based

7 How super is taxed
Tax on contributions
The tax paid on super contributions depends on the amount and type of contribution.
Tax is deducted after the contribution is received. There are limits on how much you
can contribute, and if you exceed these limits you may pay extra tax.
Type Tax on contributions in 2017/2018
If your income is $250,000 or less, you’ll pay 15% on amounts up to $25,000 a year.
If your income (including your before-tax contributions) is over $250,000, all or some
Before-tax of your before-tax contributions will be taxed at 30%.
contribution You can choose to withdraw up to 85% of excess contributions, which won’t then
count towards your after-tax limit but will be taxed at your personal rate, plus an
interest charge.
No tax on amounts up to $100,000 a year (under current law).
Any contributions over the current limit will be taxed at 47%*, unless you ask
your fund to release the amounts over the limit.
After-tax You can choose to withdraw any excess contributions plus 85% of its earnings.
contribution These earnings will be taxed at your personal rate. If you don’t withdraw these
amounts, they will be taxed at 47%* in the fund.
There may be restrictions on the after-tax contributions you can make if you
already have a very large balance in your super account/s.
Tax on investment earnings: Investment earnings are taxed at up to 15%. This tax
is deducted from the crediting rate that applies to your super, before the earnings
are credited to your account.
Tax on withdrawals: Your super is made up of two components: taxable and tax-free.
There’s no tax payable on the tax-free component. Withdrawals are generally tax-free
if you’re aged 60 or over.

Tax on the taxable component if you’re under 60

2017/2018 – If you’re between your preservation age and 59, the first $200,000 is tax-free and the
balance is taxed at 17%*.
2018/2019 – If you’re between your preservation age and 59, the first $205,000 is tax-free and the
balance is taxed at 17%*.
If you’re younger than your preservation age, your lump sum withdrawal will be taxed at 22%*.
Tax on withdrawals is deducted before you receive your payment.
Tax rates, contribution limits and the way excess contributions are treated are subject to
change. For the most up-to-date information go to australiansuper.com/RefSuperTax

You should provide your Tax File Number (TFN). If we don’t have your TFN, your
before-tax contributions and withdrawals are taxed at a higher rate and we can’t
accept after-tax contributions from you. You should read the important information
about providing your TFN before making a decision.

8 Insurance in your super

age-based cover for Death, Total & Permanent

personal representative (executor of your estate).
› TPD cover – provides you with a lump sum payment if you become totally and
permanently disabled and can no longer work.
› Income Protection – provides monthly payments if you become temporarily
disabled.

*The cost of cover is rounded to the nearest cent.
Your basic cover
Your basic Death, TPD and Income Protection cover design is age-based so your cover
amount and the cost of it will change as you get older.
Your Income Protection is based on a 60 day waiting period and a two year benefit
payment period. Payments can’t be greater than 85% of your salary (up to 75% is paid
to you and up to 10% to your super). Salary is your annual (before-tax) salary, excluding
employer super contributions.
Cost of basic age-based cover
The range of costs shown in the previous tables represent the lowest and highest cost
for each age band, but generally costs increase as you get older. See our Insurance
in your super guide for the full list of weekly costs by age for Death, TPD and Income
Protection cover or use our insurance calculator at australiansuper.com/calculators
When your cover starts
Your insurance won’t start until you receive an employer contribution in your account.

If you’re under 25 when you join

Basic age-based Death and TPD cover starts when you turn 20 and Income
Protection starts when you turn 25. If you want cover earlier you can apply for:
› An extra amount of fixed Death and/or TPD cover on top of your basic cover.
This means when you turn 20, your basic age-based cover will start and your
extra cover will continue.
› Fixed Death, TPD and/or Income Protection. You choose a total amount of fixed
cover which will stay the same unless you change it. Age-based cover won’t
start automatically if you’ve fixed or cancelled your cover.

12
Additional cover
Death and TPD cover
You can top up your basic Death and TPD cover amount by applying for extra cover.
This means your basic cover amount will change as you get older, but your extra
cover amount will remain the same (fixed) until you change it or your cover stops.
Or you can apply for a total amount of fixed cover. This means your total amount
of cover stays the same as you get older.
Income Protection
If you want a different amount of cover than your basic Income Protection provides,
you can apply for a total amount of fixed Income Protection cover. This means your
cover amount stays the same as you get older.
New member insurance offer
You can apply once to increase your cover without providing detailed health
information when you join online at australiansuper.com/join or by using the

work rating, or change your Income Protection waiting period or benefit payment
period, or change your amount or type of cover (age-based or fixed). You’ll need
to apply within 120 days of the date on your offer letter.
If you want to increase your cover but don’t meet the offer requirements or time
limits, or if you want more cover in the future, you’ll need to provide detailed health

benefit payment period to up to five years or up to age 65. When you apply you’ll

What’s your individual work rating?
The type of work you do determines your individual work rating – Standard,
Low Risk or Professional. This makes a difference to how much you pay for your
cover. Your work rating will be Standard, unless you apply to change it.
If you spend at least 80% of your time in an office environment and don’t do any
manual work, you may be eligible for a Low Risk or Professional work rating, which
means your cover will cost less. If you think you may be eligible for a Low Risk or
Professional rating, answer the work rating questions when you join online at
australiansuper.com/join or on the Join AustralianSuper form in this PDS.
If your employer has arranged a Low Risk or Professional work rating for you, it will
be confirmed in your offer letter.
Transfer cover from another insurer
You may be able to transfer your current Death, TPD or Income Protection cover
from another insurer to AustralianSuper.
Limited cover
Limited cover means that you won’t be covered for any illnesses or injuries you had
before you got your cover and it may last for different lengths of time.

Change your cover anytime

You can cancel, change or apply for insurance cover anytime by logging
into your account or completing the Change your insurance form at
australiansuper.com/forms
Use our insurance calculator at australiansuper.com/calculators to work out
the right level of cover for you.
If you don’t cancel your cover, the cost of your cover will be deducted from
your super account.
If you cancel your cover and decide to reapply, you’ll need to provide information
about your health for the Insurer to consider.

You should read the important information about insurance in your super before
making a decision. Go to australiansuper.com/InsuranceGuide
The material relating to insurance may change between the time when you read
this PDS and the day when you acquire the product.
