How to make contributions

The table below details how you can make contributions to Maritime Super and roll over benefits from other superannuation funds. 1

Type of contribution Action
Before-tax (salary sacrifice) payroll deduction Nominate the amount on the application when you first join or complete a Voluntary Contributions form and provide it to your employer.
If your employer operates outside the maritime industry, you should first discuss with your payroll office whether this option is available to you. 2
After-tax payroll deduction Nominate the amount on the application when you first join or complete a Voluntary Contributions form and provide it to your employer.
Lump sum 3 You have two options:
  1. Send a cheque made payable to Maritime Super with a Deposit form or a signed letter that clearly states the following:
    - your Member Number
    - your name
    - your address
    - a contact phone number
    - the contribution type – e.g. personal or spouse, and
    - your investment choice for the contribution, if you would like it invested in investment option(s) other than your current contribution strategy.
  2. Deposit the amount directly into Maritime Super's bank account:

    For Stevedores:
    - Bank: Commonwealth Bank of Australia
    - Account Name: Maritime Super
    - BSB: 062 000
    - Account Number: 1006 4581
    For Seafarers:
    - Bank: National Australia Bank
    - Account Name: Maritime Super
    - BSB: 083 001
    - Account Number: 57954 3660
    Please ensure that you quote your Member Number, name and the type of contribution you are making in the 'Reference' field for the payee's account statement. If you are depositing at a branch, please take the time to see a Teller to provide this instruction. Once this has been done, send or fax a Deposit form to Maritime Super. Please note, if you do not provide all the information outlined above, there may be delays in allocating your contribution.
Roll over from another fund Find the member details for your other fund(s) and complete the Rollover to Maritime Super form.

Before rolling over, check any exit fees that may apply in your other fund. You should also find out whether you will lose any insured benefits if you transfer benefits out of your other fund, and should consider whether your insurance needs will be met if this occurs.

1 Contributions cannot be made directly to Allocated Pensions or Working Income Support Pensions. If you are a pension member who would like to make further contributions or invest a rollover in Maritime Super, you will need to set up a Retained Benefits account first. Call Member Services to find out how.

2 Salary Sacrifice contributions cannot be made to the Retained Benefits or Spouse Account categories in the Stevedores division of Maritime Super.

3 If your contribution results from the disposal of qualifying small business assets or a personal injury payment, you will need to advise Maritime Super of this when contributing. Call Member Services to learn more.
