The CSS is the old defined benefit superannuation scheme for Australian Government employees, which generally closed to new entrants in 1990 but remains available for existing members and specific eligible employees.\n\n**In practical terms**\n\nEligible employees of the Australian International Hotel School can now accrue (or continue to accrue) CSS superannuation benefits, ensuring they have access to this specific government superannuation arrangement rather than being limited to other funds."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/superannuation-css-approved-authority-declaration-no-17","history":"/api/acts/superannuation-css-approved-authority-declaration-no-17/history","analysis":"/api/acts/superannuation-css-approved-authority-declaration-no-17/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/superannuation-css-approved-authority-declaration-no-17/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/superannuation-css-approved-authority-declaration-no-17/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/superannuation-css-approved-authority-declaration-no-17/documents"}}
