Self-Employed contractors can benefit from joining NESS Super and topping-up their super

NESS Super is available to contractors who are Self-Employed and operating as a sole trader or through an unincorporated partnership and who are not in receipt of employer Superannuation Guarantee (SG) contributions.

Self-Employed contractors can join NESS Super and enjoy the many benefits of a NESS Super member including:

  • our simple and competitive fee structure
  • flexible contribution options
  • online access to your account through MemberAccess
  • access to financial advice to roll-in other super accounts into NESS Super including the ability to consolidate online (no paper!) through MemberAccess
  • choice of seven investment options with a solid performance record
  • default insurance cover of two units of Death and Total and Permanent Disablement and two units of Temporary Salary Continuance (subject to terms and conditions)
  • insurance coverage for contractors working at heights, generally not offered by other super funds not familiar with our industries
  • the option to apply for increased insurance cover to suit changing needs and circumstances
  • Access to a range of financial advice services through our financial advice partner, LINK Advice.
  • access to low-interest home loans and discounted health insurance through ME Bank and NIB respectively
  • pension options for members who reach their preservation age (based on your date of birth) who want to take their super as a regular income in retirement or while still working.​

 

By joining NESS Super and topping- up your super contributions, you not only save for your retirement, but you may be able to save towards the deposit of your first home (through the Federal Government’s First Home Super Saver Scheme initiative) and also claim a tax- deduction on your personal tax return.
