Note 1: After the Superannuation (Salary) Regulations were made in 1978, they were:

(a) renamed as the Superannuation (CSS) Salary Regulations by Statutory Rules 1995 No. 275; and

Note 2: This Act repeals paragraph 5(e) of the Superannuation (Salary) Regulations, which in 2022 were known as the Superannuation (CSS) Salary Regulations 1978. That paragraph is relevant to:

the annual rate of salary of members of the Commonwealth Superannuation Scheme (CSS); and

the recognised allowances of members of the Public Sector Superannuation Scheme (PSS), which form part of their default salary for contribution and benefit purposes; and

the recognised allowances of members of the Public Sector Superannuation Accumulation Plan (PSSAP), which form part of their default superannuation salary; and

Commonwealth employees who belong to other superannuation funds and whose entitlements are calculated by reference to the default superannuation salary that would be applicable if the employees were members of the PSS or PSSAP.

Note 3: The provisions of the Superannuation (Salary) Regulations amended by this Act, and any other provisions of those regulations, may be amended or repealed by regulations made under section 168 of the Superannuation Act 1976 (see item 2 of Schedule 1 to this Act and subsection 13(5) of the Legislation Act 2003).
