Plain English Summary

1/10 complexity

This short document adds the Construction Industry Development Agency to the list of employers whose staff can join the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme (CSS).

What it does:

Declares the Construction Industry Development Agency to be an "approved authority" under the Superannuation Act 1976.
This means employees of that agency became eligible to join the CSS (the old defined-benefit public service superannuation scheme), rather than being excluded or having to use a different fund.

Who it affects:

Past and present employees of the Construction Industry Development Agency (now known as the Australian Construction Industry Development Authority, or ACIDA).
The agency itself, which could now offer Commonwealth superannuation benefits to attract staff.

Why it matters: Superannuation "approved authority" declarations determine which government-related bodies can access the Commonwealth's main public service super schemes. This particular declaration simply extended that privilege to one specific industry development body.
