Grow your super
Making voluntary after-tax contributions to your super can be an easy and effective way to grow your super. You can make voluntary after-tax contributions (also known as personal contributions) on a regular or one-off basis, whatever suits.
Plus, with an after-tax contribution you could also boost your super by up to 50 cents for every $1 you contribute (up to $500 per year) with the Government's co-contribution scheme.
