The benefits of salary packaging

Benefits available to you

As a worker of a Public Benevolent Institution, you can enjoy extra benefits of salary packaging that many other employees across Corporate, Education and Government departments are not entitled to.

Salary Packaging

Salary packaging is an employee benefit that lets you pay for a range of living day expenses with your pre-tax salary each fortnight, potentially helping you to pay less tax.

As a healthcare worker you can package up to $15,900 from the 1 April to 31 March every Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT) year.
