By declaring them \"approved authorities\" under the *Superannuation Act 1976*, their staff become eligible for the same superannuation benefits as public servants. This essentially brings these employees into the government superannuation system, even though they work for statutory corporations rather than direct government departments."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/superannuation-css-approved-authority-declaration-no-5","history":"/api/acts/superannuation-css-approved-authority-declaration-no-5/history","analysis":"/api/acts/superannuation-css-approved-authority-declaration-no-5/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/superannuation-css-approved-authority-declaration-no-5/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/superannuation-css-approved-authority-declaration-no-5/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/superannuation-css-approved-authority-declaration-no-5/documents"}}
