Q: I am a member of the Public Sector Superannuation Scheme (PSS), the defined benefit scheme for Australian government employees, and I’m about to retire. Is the strategy of making a downsizer contribution – boosting my super balance with the proceeds from the sale of my family home – available to me? – Paula
A: Yes, as a PSS defined benefit member, you can make a downsizer contribution , but it will go into a separate account rather than your defined benefit arrangement.
