Changes at work

Changing jobs

Please note

If you are an invalidity pensioner and you are thinking about starting a new job, it’s important you get in touch with us before making any decisions. Starting a new job can have a significant impact on your pension depending on your circumstances.

It’s important you understand your options and the impact on your entitlements.

What type of change are you making?

• Moving between departments (continuous service)

  You don't need to do anything, unless you want to.

  Your new employer will get your super details from your old employer so everything will remain the same. That doesn’t mean you can’t make changes, if you want to. Just get in touch with the payroll team at your new employer to change your contributions.

• Coming back to the Australian Government

  We'd like to guide you through this, as there are some important things you need to know when re-joining the Australian Government.

  We want to help you understand what you need to do once you re-join CSS.

  Call us on 1300 000 277 and we will walk you through the process and ensure you're informed of what happens next.

• Redundancy

  Redundancy can be an overwhelming time for you both professionally and personally. CSC is here to support you with information about your super, and with practical advice and resources to help as you decide what’s next.

• Leaving eligible employment (e.g. moving out of the APS)

  If you're leaving eligible employment, you can preserve your super in CSS for access at a later date. You may also be eligible for a PSS accumulation plan account.

• Resignation

  When you leave your job, you may be entitled to a resignation benefit. Resignation benefits are payable if you resign or are dismissed before minimum retirement age. There are several benefit options available you should carefully consider before making a decision.
