Salary packaging – it’s like giving yourself a pay rise*

Welcome to salary packaging with Smart, the SA Government’s salary packaging provider.

We’re here to help SA Government employees make their salaries go further by salary packaging certain expenses, which can help reduce taxable income and may increase take‑home pay depending on your circumstances.
 
Whether you’re full-time, part-time or casual, being smart with your benefits can really pay off.

Who can salary package? 

All SA Government employees are allowed to salary package under Australian Taxation Office (ATO) rules, and there are lots of different expenses you can include.  

What can you salary package?

What you can package depends on which department or agency you work for. All SA Government departments and agencies allow their employees to salary package a car, also known as novated leasing. Many employees may also be able to save by salary packaging certain work-related expenses and professional memberships and subscriptions. If you work for a Local Health Network, SA Ambulance or the Legal Services Commission, you have the widest range of benefits available to you, including the ability to package certain everyday living expenses.

 

^A portable electronic device can only be salary packaged if it is used primarily (over 50%) for work purposes. Employees are limited to 1 device with substantially similar functions. Tax savings achieved through salary packaging will depend on your income tax bracket and personal circumstances.
