You and your other half (you don’t even have to be married) can boost your joint retirement income, and maybe even get special tax treatment.
Find out how you could benefit from sharing your super contributions with your spouse through contribution splitting, and how they could help boost your super by making a contribution.
You don't have to be married to have a 'spouse'
If you're a UniSuper member, we recognise a spouse as being a person who:
- you are legally married to,
- is in a relationship with you (whether of the same or opposite sex), and the relationship is registered under an Australian state or territory law, or
- is in a relationship with you (whether of the same or opposite sex), and you live together on a genuine domestic basis as a couple.
See our full definition of spouse.
Boost your joint retirement income and receive other benefits while you’re at it.
As a UniSuper member, in certain circumstances you may be able to split your concessional (before-tax) super contributions across two UniSuper accounts – yours, and your spouse’s.
Your spouse can top up your UniSuper Account at any time by making an after-tax contribution on your behalf.
