This Approval classifies Australian Broadcasting Corporation staff hired on fixed-term contracts to work only overseas as “temporary employees” under the Superannuation Act 1976, preserving their prior eligible-employee status if they were eligible immediately before (s2). It affects those ABC employees and the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme (CSS): classification governs who pays and what entitlements apply. Employees already employed before the Approval must ask in writing to be treated as eligible (s2(c)). The instrument also records earlier, related approvals (ss3–5).
