Don't miss out on this years' Government co-contrbution
4 reasons why you should take advantage of this years' Government co-contribution scheme
Maximum co-contribution is being reduced
This year the maximum amount the Government will give you under the scheme is $1,000. Next year, this maximum limit drops to $500.
Changes to eligibility
You may not be entitled to it next year as the Government is lowering the eligible income cap from $61,920 to $46,920.
Matching rate to be halved
You'll have to contribute more next year to get the same co-contribution amount as this year. Currently, the Government will match you dollar for dollar up to $1,000 for contributions you make to your super. Next year, this will be reduced to $0.50 for every dollar you contribute.
Boost your super savings!

More information on the Government co-contribution scheme can be found here.
Here's how to take advantage of the current co-contribution scheme to boost your super balance and maximise your retirement savings before the rates are reduced:
Find out if you're eligible* and what your entitlement is likely to be.
Then make a personal after-tax contribution before June 30 via BPAY, Mail or Direct Debit.
If you qualify, the Government will automatically contribute to your account after you have lodged your tax return – simple as that!
Contribute now so you don't miss out.
Remember, to qualify for this years' co-contribution scheme, you have to make a personal after-tax contribution to your super account before June 30 this year. Please allow 5 working days for transactions to be received.
It's easy to do via BPAY, otherwise you can mail in a cheque or arrange with your financial institution to make automatic regular direct debit payments to your account.
*Eligibility conditions apply. Visit the website for more information.
