What this does This short declaration adds the Special Broadcasting Service (SBS) to the list of "approved authorities" under the Superannuation Act 1990. Being declared an "approved authority" means SBS is treated as part of the Commonwealth public sector for superannuation purposes.

Who it affects

SBS employees: They become eligible to join the Public Sector Superannuation (PSS) scheme, the Commonwealth's defined benefit super fund for public servants.
The Minister for Finance: Who has the power to make these declarations under the Act.

Why it matters Before this declaration, SBS staff were likely excluded from the PSS scheme or covered by different arrangements. This change ensures SBS employees can access the same government-backed retirement benefits as other Commonwealth public servants, aligning the multicultural broadcaster's employment conditions with the broader public sector.
