Teachers Sue Over Unpaid Super

Tens of thousands of Victorian teachers are suing the state government over alleged unpaid superannuation on their Salary Loading Allowance — a payment made for 28 years, costing an estimated $100 million in missed contributions and $300 million in lost investment returns. One veteran teacher, Jill Perkins, says she’s owed nearly $10,000 and fears the injustice will taint her retirement dreams. The Department of Education claims it followed outdated advice, but the ATO has already ruled super is payable — and ordered them to pay — though they’re appealing. The department quietly began paying super in 2023, citing new ATO guidance, but declined further comment as the case remains in court.
