We’re making changes so you can stay with GESB

8 November 2023

Based on member feedback, we are working on implementing changes that will mean you can keep your super contributions going to a GESB Super account, even if you’ve already left the WA public sector or started a second job in the private sector.

What are we doing?

As we are a State based public sector fund, we operate under specific WA laws that mean we currently can’t accept non-public sector contributions.

However, we’re working through the requirements to make changes to this legislation so you will be able to keep your super contributions going to a  GESB Super account, whether you’re moving on in your career or starting a second job outside the WA government.

The amendments will also align GESB with the Commonwealth Government’s Your Future, Your Super changes that enable super accounts to follow workers when they change jobs.

How will this benefit you?

We pride ourselves on looking after our members, and these changes mean you will be able to stay with a super fund you know and trust.

You will benefit from:

  • Keeping all your super in one fund, which will save you from managing multiple accounts
  • Low fees and charges
  • Strong long term investment returns
  • Member first service
  • Specialised insurance products

When will this happen?

We expect for these changes to be in place in 2024.

We’re working hard behind the scenes to get everything set up, so keep an eye on our website for updates.
