1980s | Superannuation at the start of this decade is far from widespread and isn’t transferable between different employers. As a result, until the mid-1980's superannuation was generally limited to public servants and white collar employees of large corporations. |
1987 | Superannuation assets are estimated to be $41.1bn, with 32 per cent of private sector employees covered.
Following the 1986 National Wage Case guidelines, contributions start to be added to some industrial awards, which increases the coverage of private sector employees to 68 per cent by 1991. |
1992 | The Superannuation Guarantee (SG) is introduced with a mandatory 3 per cent contribution rate (or 4 per cent for employers with an annual payroll above $1 million), requiring employers to make a contribution into a super fund on their employees’ behalf.
Superannuation assets at the time are estimated to be $148bn. This mandatory rate gradually increases to 9 per cent by 2002, and to the current rate of 9.5 per cent in 2014. |
