30A—Transition to retirement
	(1)	For the purposes of this section, the basic threshold is an amount prescribed by the regulations for the purposes of this subsection.
	(2)	A member may apply to the Board for the benefit of this section if—
	(a)	the member has reached—
	(i)	the age of 55 years; and
	(ii)	his or her preservation age; and
	(b)	the member has entered into an arrangement with his or her employer—
	(i)	to reduce his or her hours of work; or
	(ii)	to alter his or her duties,
or both, with the effect that there is a reduction in the member's salary; and
	(c)	the purpose for establishing the arrangement referred to in paragraph (b) relates to the proposed retirement of the member in due course (including by allowing the member to scale down his or her work in the lead-up to retirement).
	(3)	The Board may require that an application under subsection (2)—
	(a)	be made in such manner, and comply with such requirements, as the Board thinks fit; and
	(b)	be accompanied by such information or other material specified by the Board to assist the Board to be satisfied as to the matters set out in paragraphs (b) and (c) of that subsection.
	(4)	If the Board is satisfied that a valid application has been made under subsection (2), an entitlement will arise as follows:
	(a)	the Board will determine a benefit (a draw down benefit) on the basis of the member's application and on the basis that the maximum draw down benefit to which the member is entitled will be determined as follows:

Where—
B is the maximum draw down benefit
SP is the amount that would be payable under section 31 if the member had retired from employment immediately before the date of the determination
FS is the member's actual salary immediately before the commencement of the arrangement envisaged by subsection (2)(b)
NS is the member's actual salary on the commencement of the arrangement envisaged by subsection (2)(b);
	(b)	the Board will then, according to an election made by the member as part of his or her application to the Board for the benefit of this section, invest (on behalf of and in the name of the member) the draw down benefit—
	(i)	with the Superannuation Funds Management Corporation of South Australia; or
	(ii)	with another entity that will provide a non‑commutable income stream for the member while the member continues to be employed in the workforce,
so that the member receives (and only receives) a payment in the form of a pension or an annuity (a draw down payment) on account of the benefit.
	(5)	Paragraph (a) of subsection (4) operates subject to the qualification that if SP under that paragraph does not exceed the basic threshold then the maximum draw down benefit will be equal to SP.
	(6)	The draw down benefit will be constituted by the components that would apply under section 31 if the member had retired from employment immediately before the date of the Board's determination, with each component bearing the same proportion to the component that would apply under section 31 as the draw down benefit bears to SP under subsection (4)(a).
	(7)	The investment of a draw down benefit under subsection (4)(b)(i) will be on terms and conditions determined by the Board.
	(8)	An entitlement to a draw down payment is not commutable.
	(9)	However—
	(a)	a member may, after commencing to receive a draw down payment and before retiring from employment under this Act, take steps to bring the investment to an end and pay the balance of the investment into a rollover account under this Act as if the balance were being carried over from another superannuation scheme to the Triple S scheme; and
	(b)	the value of an investment under subsection (4)(b)(i) may be redeemed in due course under subsection (14).
	(10)	When the Board has determined a draw down benefit—
	(a)	the various accounts maintained by the Board under section 7 will be immediately adjusted to take into account the payment of the draw down benefit; and
	(b)	section 12(2) and (3) will apply with respect to the relevant components constituting the draw down benefit, as applying under subsection (6) of this section; and
	(c)	the contributions payable by the member under section 25 will (despite any provision made by section 25 to the contrary)—
	(i)	be fixed on the basis of the member's salary under the arrangement established with his or her employer (for so long as the arrangement continues); and
	(ii)	as so fixed, be payable in respect of this salary from the first full pay period after the Board's determination of the draw down benefit; and
	(d)	the relevant employer contribution account will be immediately adjusted to take into account the payment of the draw down benefit.
	(11)	If the employment arrangements of a member who is receiving a draw down payment under this section alter so that there is an alteration in his or her salary—
	(a)	in the case of a reduction in salary—the member may apply to the Board for a further benefit in accordance with the provisions of this section and this section will then apply to the application and with respect to the relevant arrangement—
	(i)	as if FS under subsection (4)(a) is the member's actual salary immediately before the relevant reduction in salary; and
	(ii)	as if NS is the member's actual salary immediately after the relevant reduction in salary; and
	(iii)	by applying such other modifications as may be necessary for the purpose or as may be prescribed; and
	(b)	in the case of an increase in salary—the draw down payment will continue as if the increase had not occurred but the contributions payable by the member must be adjusted to take into account the increase.
	(12)	When a member retires from employment (and is thus entitled to a benefit under section 31), the member's entitlement under section 31 will be adjusted to take into account the draw down benefit provided under this section (and that section will then have effect accordingly).
	(13)	If a member's employment is terminated on account of invalidity or by the member's death, any entitlement under section 34 or 35 (as the case requires) will be adjusted to take into account the draw down benefit provided under this section (and the relevant section will then have effect accordingly).
	(14)	When a member retires, has his or her employment terminated on account of invalidity or dies (whichever first occurs), an investment being held under subsection (4)(b)(i) may be redeemed (subject to any rules or requirements applicable to the exercise of a power of redemption).
	(15)	Despite a preceding subsection, if the maximum draw down benefit under subsection (4)(a) is not sufficient to be invested under subsection (4)(b) in order to obtain a draw down payment—
	(a)	unless paragraph (b) applies—the draw down benefit must be an amount equal to the minimum amount required to obtain a draw down payment (and subsection (4)(a) will apply accordingly);
	(b)	if the minimum amount required to obtain a draw down payment is greater than SP under subsection (4)(a), the Board must reject the application under this section (and no entitlement will arise under subsection (4)).
	(16)	The determination of a benefit under this section must take into account the operation of any provision under Part 5A.
	(17)	The Governor may, by regulation, declare that any provision of this section is modified in prescribed circumstances (and the regulation will have effect according to its terms).
8—Amendment of section 35E—Effect on member's entitlements
Section 35E—after subsection (4) insert:
	(5)	If a member has received a draw down benefit under section 30A—
	(a)	the superannuation interest of the member will be taken to include the balance of any draw down benefit that is being held under section 30A(4)(b)(i); and
	(b)	any entitlement under section 30A will be adjusted to take into account the effect of a payment split under this Part.

Part 3—Amendment of Superannuation Act 1988
9—Amendment of section 4—Interpretation
	(1)	Section 4(1)—after the definition of new scheme contributor insert:
non-monetary salary, in relation to a contributor who is not employed pursuant to a TEC contract, means remuneration in any form resulting from the sacrifice by the contributor of part of his or her salary;
	(2)	Section 4(1)—after the definition of pension period insert:
preservation age has the same meaning as in Part 6 of the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Regulations 1994 of the Commonwealth under the SIS Act;
	(3)	Section 4(1), second definition of salary—after "all forms of remuneration" insert:
(including non‑monetary salary)
	(4)	Section 4(1), second definition of salary, (da)—delete paragraph (da)
	(5)	Section 4(2c) to (2f)—delete subsections (2c) to (2f) (inclusive) and substitute:
	(2c)	For the purposes of determining the amount of salary received by a contributor who is in receipt of non‑monetary salary, the value of the non‑monetary salary will be taken to be amount of salary sacrificed by the contributor in order to receive the non‑monetary salary.
10—Insertion of section 26A

26A—Transition to retirement
	(1)	A contributor may apply to the Board for the benefit of this section if—

	(b)	the contributor has entered into an arrangement with his or her employer—
	(i)	to reduce his or her hours of work; or
	(ii)	to alter his or her duties,
or both, with the effect that there is a reduction in the contributor's salary; and
	(c)	the purpose for establishing the arrangement referred to in paragraph (b) relates to the proposed retirement of the contributor in due course (including by allowing the contributor to scale down his or her work in the lead‑up to retirement).
	(2)	The Board may require that an application under subsection (1)—
	(a)	be made in such manner as the Board thinks fit; and
	(b)	be accompanied by such information or other material specified by the Board to assist the Board to be satisfied as to the matters set out in paragraphs (b) and (c) of that subsection.
	(3)	If the Board is satisfied that a valid application has been made under subsection (1), an entitlement will arise as follows:
	(a)	the Board will determine a benefit (a draw down benefit) on the basis of the contributor's application and on the basis that the maximum draw down benefit to which the contributor is entitled will be determined as follows:

Where—
B is the maximum draw down benefit

FS is the contributor's actual salary immediately before the commencement of the arrangement envisaged by subsection (1)(b)
NS is the contributor's actual salary on the commencement of the arrangement envisaged by subsection (1)(b);
	(b)	the Board will then, according to an election made by the contributor as part of his or her application to the Board for the benefit of this section, invest (on behalf of and in the name of the contributor) the draw down benefit—
	(i)	with the Superannuation Funds Management Corporation of South Australia; or
	(ii)	with another entity that will provide a non‑commutable income stream for the contributor while the contributor continues to be employed in the workforce,
so that the contributor receives (and only receives) a payment in the form of a pension or an annuity (a draw down payment) on account of the benefit.
	(4)	The investment of a draw down benefit under subsection (3)(b)(i) will be on terms and conditions determined by the Board.
	(5)	An entitlement to a draw down payment is not commutable.
	(6)	However—
	(a)	a contributor may, after commencing to receive a draw down payment and before retiring from employment under this Act, take steps to bring the investment to an end and pay the balance of the investment into a rollover account (which may need to be established) in the name of the contributor as if the balance were being carried over from another superannuation scheme into the scheme pursuant to section 47B; and
	(b)	the value of an investment under subsection (3)(b)(i) may be redeemed in due course under subsection (11).

	(b)	the contributions payable by the contributor under section 23 will (despite any provision made by section 23 to the contrary)—
	(i)	be fixed on the basis of the contributor's salary under the arrangement established with his or her employer (for so long as the arrangement continues); and

	(8)	If the employment arrangements of a contributor who is receiving a draw down payment under this section alter so that there is an alteration in his or her salary—
	(a)	in the case of a reduction in salary—the contributor may apply to the Board for a further benefit in accordance with the provisions of this section and this section will then apply to the application and with respect to the relevant arrangement—
	(i)	as if FS under subsection (3)(a) is the contributor's actual salary immediately before the relevant reduction in salary; and

	(9)	When a contributor retires from employment (and is thus entitled to a benefit under section 27), the contributor's entitlement under section 27 will be adjusted in the manner prescribed by the regulations to take into account the draw down benefit provided under this section (and that section will then have effect accordingly).
	(10)	If a contributor's employment is terminated by the contributor's death, any entitlement under section 32 will be adjusted in the manner prescribed by the regulations to take into account the draw down benefit provided under this section (and that section will then have effect accordingly).

	(a)	the application will be taken to be an election under that section; and
	(b)	the amount of entitlement payable under that section will be added to the draw down benefit under subsection (3)(a) (and then invested under subsection (3)(b)).

	(a)	unless paragraph (b) applies—the draw down benefit must be an amount equal to the minimum required to obtain a draw down payment (and subsection (3)(a) will apply accordingly);

	(10)	When a contributor retires from employment (and is thus entitled to a benefit under section 34), the contributor's entitlement under section 34 will be adjusted in the manner prescribed by the regulations to take into account the draw down benefit provided under this section (and that section will then have effect accordingly).
	(11)	If a contributor's employment terminates on account of invalidity in circumstances that give rise to an entitlement under section 37, the entitlement under that section will be adjusted in the manner prescribed by the regulations to take into account the fact that the contributor had elected to receive a draw down benefit under this section (and that section will then have effect accordingly).
	(12)	If a contributor's employment is terminated by the contributor's death, any entitlement under section 38 will be adjusted in the manner prescribed by the regulations to take into account the fact that the contributor had elected to receive a draw down benefit under this section (and that section will then have effect accordingly).
