- You must be an Australian resident
- You must be over 18 years of age
- You must be earning at least $450/month before tax from an employer
If you are under the age of 18, but earning more than $450/month before tax, you must be working more than 30 hours per week to qualify for a superannuation account.
Many people think that because Catholic Super was designed for employees of the Catholic industry, it’s only for people who identify as Catholics or Christians, but anyone can join. It is a public offer fund.
