Special Benefits
Salary Packaging

Ashcare provides salary packaging up to a total of $16,050 per annum. This arrangement permits staff members to bundle payments such as credit cards, health insurance, mortgage payments into packages specifically designed for      their needs.

Salary packaging effectively increases the net amount of each employee’s fortnightly pay and reduces the amount of tax payable, thereby permitting employees to obtain the full taxation benefit from their package arrangement.

Salary packaging is only available to Permanent Part-Time (PPT) employees as Casuals' earnings will fluctuate from pay to pay depending on hours worked.

The 9% employer contribution of superannuation is paid on employees' pre-packaged salary.

Superannuation

Ashcare pays employer contributions of superannuation at the rate of 9% on behalf of all PPT and Casual employees into HESTA Super Fund (under the Award) or to the employee's nominated superannuation fund. 

For more information on HESTA, you can visit their website www.hesta.com.au
