Can any employer pay into GESB?

Yes. GESB can accept employer contributions from all employers into a GESB Super account.

West State Super, Gold State Super and Retirement Income Pension accounts can’t accept external contributions from non-government employers. These restrictions apply to Superannuation Guarantee (SG) and salary sacrifice contributions.

Process for non-government employer contributions

Members who work outside the WA public sector must submit a Fund nomination form to their non-government employer. This form is produced by GESB as an acceptable alternative to the ATO standard choice form and includes the GESB Super USI and fund details. Members can send their employer an online nomination form by email or complete a PDF nomination form.

Payroll officers will need to process the members’ SG contributions to a GESB Super account as per their usual super payment process through their preferred Clearing House. If the member does not have a GESB Super account, we will open one for them once we receive their SG contribution.

Non-government employer contributions submitted to a West State Super or Gold State Super account will be rejected. Members with these accounts can make after-tax contributions online through BPAY^® or by cheque or money order using a Super contributions form.
