This instrument designates the Rural Industries Research and Development Corporation as one of those approved authorities, effective from **1 August 1990**.\n\nIn practical terms, this means staff of this corporation became eligible for the Commonwealth's defined benefit superannuation scheme (a type of retirement savings plan where benefits are calculated based on salary and years of service) rather than only having access to standard private sector arrangements."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/superannuation-pss-approved-authority-declaration-no-1","history":"/api/acts/superannuation-pss-approved-authority-declaration-no-1/history","analysis":"/api/acts/superannuation-pss-approved-authority-declaration-no-1/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/superannuation-pss-approved-authority-declaration-no-1/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/superannuation-pss-approved-authority-declaration-no-1/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/superannuation-pss-approved-authority-declaration-no-1/documents"}}
