17A Contributions by employers of former long‑term ADF members
CSC must pay a contribution into the ADF Super Fund if the contribution: (a) is made: (i) by the employer of an ADF Super member who is a former long‑term ADF member; and (ii) for the benefit of the ADF Super member; and (b) is paid to CSC in a way determined by CSC under section 21.
Note 1: This section does not require an employer of an ADF Super member who is a former long‑term ADF member to make contributions to the ADF Super Fund for the benefit of the ADF Super member, but the employer may do so, for example, under an arrangement between the employer and the member for sacrificing the member’s salary into superannuation.
Note 2: CSC must not pay the contribution into the ADF Super Fund if it would be contrary to the SIS Act or jeopardise ADF Super’s status as a complying superannuation fund: see subsection 8(2).
