What do we provide?
The GSA provides a collective voice to protect the superannuation rights of government employees who have contributed to one of the Government Superannuation Fund (GSF) schemes or the National Provident Fund (NPF) Defined Benefit Plan.
The purpose of the GSA is to safeguard the current provisions of the GSF and NPF schemes and to improve them by having deficiencies and anomalies removed.
The GSA has been a collective voice for government annuitants since 1920.
Benefits of becoming a GSA member.
A strong united voice offers the best chance of protecting your entitlement and safeguarding your interests and those of your family. The GSA provides that voice.
Being a member, you strengthen our position by adding your support to our continuing efforts to have scheme anomalies removed.
You can have your say at local branch meetings and get involved in the social programme, and engage in discussion in our Facebook Group should you wish to do so.
GSA subscription.
The GSA subscription is currently $3.30 per annuity, deducted from the member’s annuity 4-weekly. Members still working and contributing (or who have deferred their annuity) pay the annual subscription of $42.90. The subscription is apportioned to support the functions of the GSA in the member's branch and in the GSA overall.
