Superannuation (super) is a way of saving for retirement. If you work in Australia, your employer may have to make super payments for you if you:
are less than 70 years of age
are paid a salary or wages of A$450 or more in a calendar month, and
work full-time, part-time or on a casual basis.
Super payments are paid by your employer in addition to the salary or wages you receive. If you are eligible for super, your employer will pay your super into a super fund.
