Closed to new members in July 1990, the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme (CSS) was established to provide superannuation benefits for Australian Government employees and associated employers. The scheme is a hybrid of defined benefits and accumulated benefits.
How Guideway can help CSS members
The CSS is considered to be one of the most generous defined benefit schemes in Australia with particularly favourable entitlements for its members upon retirement. Seeking advice from someone with an in-depth understanding of the complex workings of this scheme is therefore paramount to ensure you maximise your benefit.
Guideway’s licensed advisers have extensive experience advising CSS members on how best to optimise their entitlement including contribution strategies, 54/11 considerations, impact of any redundancy on a CSS benefit, and timing factors for benefit claims amongst a range of other issues.
Advice directly through CSS
CSS members can also access financial advice directly through their fund. Licensed under Guideway, CSS Financial Planners provide you with the same level of advice and expertise covering all of the issues on the right.
