| Notes: |
The University has obligations under Superannuation Guarantee Legislation to provide a minimum superannuation provision to staff member's as required under the legislation. The University exceeds it's superannuation guarantee obligations by offering additonal superannuation contributions. The generous rate of superannuation contribution forms part of the remuneration to staff package, which in comparison to other employers in different industries in Australia, is very attractive. |
