Illustration for Integrity Sport and Recreation Act 2023

If you work for the Commission and you already contribute to the Government Superannuation Fund under Part 2 or Part 2A of the Government Superannuation Fund Act 1956, you are still considered to be working for the Government. The Government Superannuation Fund Act 1956 applies to you as if you were still working in the Government service. This means you can keep contributing to the fund as long as you are working for the Commission.

If you stop contributing to the Government Superannuation Fund, you cannot start again just because you work for the Commission. The Commission is in charge of making sure the Government Superannuation Fund Act 1956 is applied correctly to its employees. You will be treated the same as other Government employees when it comes to the Government Superannuation Fund.
