Plain English Summary

2/10 complexity

This declaration amends PSS eligibility so that limited super contributions made only in respect of performance pay (bonuses/incentives under specific agreements) no longer count as “contributing to another scheme.” Public servants whose only outside contributions are performance‑based can join the Commonwealth Public Sector Superannuation scheme, removing a previous barrier while regular salary‑related contributions still prevent PSS entry.
