Lifestyle & Work Benefits

Discounted Train Travel

Employees can travel to and from work for free, as well as access other free and/or discounted rail travel for off-duty travel on the City and long-distance travel networks.

Superannuation

Queensland Rail employees will receive an employer contribution of 12.75%*, calculated on ordinary time earnings. Employees may wish to also make voluntary contributions which can be made as a regular payroll deduction, or as a one-off contribution directly to the Government Superannuation Office.

Contributions can be made to a compliant superannuation fund, otherwise contributions will be made into a stapled fund as determined by the Australian Taxation Office. If no compliant fund is nominated and no stapled fund exists, then contributions will be made to QSuper.

*Employees on a Total Fixed Remuneration arrangement can opt to lower their employer contribution to the Super Guarantee requirements as a minimum.

Novated Leasing & Salary Packaging

Salary packaging is a means of providing employees with the ability to change the structure of their remuneration package and receive part of their salary in the form of non-cash benefits. One of the most popular options is Novated Motor Vehicle leasing, where benefits can include income tax savings, GST savings and access to fleet discounts.
