Retirement Scheme
The Local Government Superannuation Scheme was established on 1 July 1997 to specifically cater for the superannuation requirements of Local Government employees. Prior to this time, Local Government employees were members of various NSW public sector superannuation funds. The Retirement Scheme is a split benefit fund into which both you and your employer contribute.
