Illustration for Public Audit Act 2001

If you were a contributor to the Government Superannuation Fund under the Government Superannuation Fund Act 1956 before this Act started, you are still considered to be employed in the Government service. This is as long as you continue to work for the Auditor-General. The Government Superannuation Fund Act 1956 applies to you as if you never stopped working for the Government service.
