Earlier this year, we notified all staff that the University of Newcastle is undertaking an independent superannuation review as a result of the identification of some potential anomalies.
While the review is still underway, we have identified some configuration errors in our payroll software, which was leading to some under-payment of superannuation contributions for some of our staff. We have corrected these errors.
The full review is in progress and we are on track to complete it by the end of the year. All current and former staff who have not received their full superannuation contributions will be personally contacted, and repaid in full, with interest.
You do not need to take any action at this point, but for more information see the FAQs below, contact our dedicated superannuation line on (02) 4921 5599 or email super.remediation@newcastle.edu.au
The University of Newcastle acknowledges the traditional custodians of the lands within our footprint areas: Awabakal, Darkinjung, Biripai, Worimi, Wonnarua, and Eora Nations. We also pay respect to the wisdom of our Elders past and present.
