This allows professors moving from Commonwealth public service jobs to UNSW to transfer their government superannuation benefits into the university's scheme.\n- Also declares it as an **approved scheme**, which establishes rules for how benefits move between the university scheme and the Commonwealth scheme when people change jobs.\n- **Backdates** the effect of this declaration to 1 July 1976, even though it was signed on 5 December 1976.\n\n**Who it affects:**\n- Academic staff at UNSW who were transitioning from (or to) Commonwealth public service employment, ensuring they could maintain continuous retirement savings coverage without losing benefits."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/superannuation-act-1976-declaration-05-12-1976","history":"/api/acts/superannuation-act-1976-declaration-05-12-1976/history","analysis":"/api/acts/superannuation-act-1976-declaration-05-12-1976/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/superannuation-act-1976-declaration-05-12-1976/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/superannuation-act-1976-declaration-05-12-1976/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/superannuation-act-1976-declaration-05-12-1976/documents"}}
