How this applies to your account with us
Before you read further, please note that West State Super and Gold State Super schemes are constitutionally protected funds and are not eligible for the FHSSS.
Please note we are currently reviewing the details of the FHSSS to see if this applies to GESB Super accounts, and if so, whether legislation governing GESB Super will also need to be amended. As soon as we have any further information, we will update our website.
