As a taxed scheme, Super SA FRP offers your clients ways of growing super that are unavailable to Super SA’s other tax deferred options.
Super SA FRP, gives your clients access to —
Low Income Superannuation Tax Offset (LISTO)
The LISTO is available to those earning less than 37K each financial year. It sees the Commonwealth Government refund up to a maximum of $500 of the tax deducted on concessional contributions made to Super SA Select throughout the year.
First Home Super Saver (FHSS) Scheme
The FHSS Scheme becomes available to help your clients boost their savings for their first home by letting them build their home deposit within Super SA FRP.

Government Co-contributionThe Government Co-Contribution scheme rewards your clients with a contribution of up to $500 if they make a voluntary after-tax contribution.

If your clients are currently members of Triple S Scheme or Super SA Select, they can invest in the Super SA FRP.
Others are also eligible to invest in Super SA FRP if they have —
- Received an entitlement from a Super SA scheme in the last 12 months or
- Are a spouse of a current Super SA member, and

Access to money via FRP
FRP is a great way for your clients to continue investing their money at low cost, while still having access to some of it or even all of it, at any time.
Your clients can make lump sum withdrawals that are $1000 or more from their FRP accounts (subject to Commonwealth Government preservation rules).
