a scheme of choice.<br />

Basis of Calculating Contributions<br />

In accordance with the Trust Deeds, employer contributions are calculated as a percentage of the employee’s salary.<br />

Separate contributions are determined for the various schemes involved. The minimum rate of employer<br />

contribution for all participating employees is the Superannuation Guarantee of 9%. The unfunded superannuation<br />

liability in respect to members of State Superannuation schemes is shown as a liability separately by the<br />

Department of Treasury and Finance. HESTA is an accumulation fund and has advised that the scheme is regarded<br />

as being fully funded. There are no loans to the employer from any employee superannuation funds. There were no<br />

contributions outstanding at the end of the financial year (Nil - 2003-<strong>2004</strong>).<br />
