1922 Scheme

The Commissioner for Superannuation is responsible for the general administration and
operation of the Superannuation Act 1922 (the 1922 Act). Contributors under this Act were
compulsorily transferred to the CSS on 1 July 1976. However, the 1922 Act still provides for
the payment of pensions that were in force at 1 July 1976, deferred benefit entitlements and
any reversionary pensions that became payable.

During the 2002–03 financial year, 134 new benefits became payable under this scheme,
leaving the total number of pensions in force at 10 684 of which 7 916 were reversionary
benefits. The total annual liability for these pension benefits was $222 096 238 per annum.
Pensions paid under the 1922 Act are administered by the staff of ComSuper. Details of
ComSuper's services to pensioners can be found in the individual Scheme Annual Reports
to Parliament on the relevant websites.
