Setting up a new employee

Fast and simple to get started

Queensland local government, entities, water businesses and associated employers are required to advise LGsuper when a new employee starts employment. See below.

Employers outside Queensland local government simply need to register as a contributing employer, as your employee is already set up as a member. Read more...

Information we need for a new employee to set up their account:

  • full name
  • date of birth
  • postal address
  • Tax File Number
  • date started employment
  • benefit class
  • annual salary (for non-casual employees)

Using Employer online

If you submit your contributions using LGsuper’s Employer online system, you can give us new employee information when loading your contribution data file. There is no need to complete a New employee information form.

However, if a permanent local government employee (other than Brisbane City Council employees) elects to start 6% standard member contributions upon commencing employment, or if a local government entity or water business employee and their employer agree to the 6% standard member contribution arrangement,a New Employee information form should be completed and retained on your file as evidence of the employee’s election to contribute. You can order a supply of these forms using this order form.

Not using Employer online

You should complete and submit a New Employee information form for all new employees. You can order a supply of these forms using this order form.

What do I give to my new employees?

Give each new employee our Welcome to LGsuper brochure, which outlines the key features of their LGsuper account. For copies, please order a supply using this order form.

Once we have been notified that a new employee has started employment, we will send them a welcome letter and a copy of the relevant Product Disclosure Statement.
