If you have been working for local government for a long period of time, you may be a member of the Defined Benefits Fund. This is not available to new members.
LGsuper operates two different Defined Benefits Funds. One Defined Benefit account is for employees who joined City Super while working Brisbane City Council. The other Defined Benefits Fund is for members who joined while working for other local governments.
How your benefit is calculated
The two different Defined Benefit accounts calculate benefits differently. If you are part of one of the Defined Benefits Funds please read the Product Disclosure Statement that relates to your fund.
Super contributions
Your employer contributes to the fund, while you contribute a percentage of your salary to the fund. These contributions are added to a pool of money to provide benefits to all members of that fund.
Insurance cover
You are covered for Death and Total and Permanent Disablement as part of your defined benefit.
Investment choice
Investment choice does not apply to your defined benefit. If you make any voluntary contributions or transfer other super to LGsuper these are invested in an Accumulation account, where you can choose how your money is invested.
