SA Ambulance Service

New members of the SA Ambulance Service (since 1 July 2008) will automatically become part of the Triple S (Ambulance) Scheme and not this scheme.

Members who joined the Ambulance Service prior to 1 July 2008 would be part of the SA Ambulance Service Super (SAAMB) Scheme (closed to new members), unless you opted to transfer to Triple S since joining the SA Ambulance Service Super Scheme.

For more information about Triple S, please visit the Triple S page.

What is the SA Ambulance Service Super (SAAMB) Scheme?

The SA Ambulance Service Super Scheme is a defined benefit scheme, and it’s closed to new members. You would only be a member of the SAAMB Scheme if you commenced employment with the SA Ambulance Service prior to 1 July 2008. As a member of this scheme, you can either be a: • Standard contributory member, or • Non-contributory member or • Spouse member

The benefit you receive upon leaving the scheme is dependent on what kind of member you are.

For more information on your super entitlements, please visit the SAAMB Scheme Product Disclosure Statement.
  • Standard contributory SAAMB Scheme members are generally entitled to the following insurance cover:

    Income protection

    Death & Total and Permanent Disablement

    Death

    Serious Ill Health


    Standard contributory members can also increase their benefit by applying for up to four units of voluntary insurance cover at a cost of $1.35 per week, per unit.

    Non-contributory members are not automatically covered for insurance, but can choose to apply for voluntary insurance cover.

    For further information about your insurance, please visit the SAAMB Scheme Product Disclosure Statement. 

    For further information on how to make an insurance claim, please visit the Disablement Entitlements Claim Process fact sheet.

  • Investment management fees are deducted from your investment earnings before they’re deposited in your account.

    If you’re a standard contributory member, the cost of any insurance cover is met by your employer.

    To learn more about your scheme, please read your Product Disclosure Statement. 

  • All members of the SAAMB Scheme have the option to transfer their super to Triple S.
    However, the two schemes are different, and they may produce different outcomes for your retirement. For further information about transferring to Triple S, please read the Transfer to Triple S fact sheet and the Triple S Product Disclosure Statement.

    Transferring to Triple S may be one of the biggest decisions you’ll ever make, so before you make any decisions, you may want to seek financial advice. If you have your own financial planner, that’s great! If not, you can take advantage of the service available to Super SA members via Industry Fund Services (IFS). 

    Contact Super SA on 1300 369 315, or via supersa@sa.gov.au, for more information.
