If you’re a low-to-middle-income earner and make a personal (after-tax) super contribution to your super, the government could pay up to $500 directly into your super. Eligibility criteria apply. 

To qualify for the government co-contribution, you need to:

• have made one or more eligible personal super contributions to your super account during the financial year
  
• pass the two income tests (income threshold and 10% eligible income tests)
  
• be under 71 years old at the end of the financial year
  
• not hold a temporary visa at any time during the financial year (unless you're a New Zealand citizen, or it was a prescribed visa)
• lodge your tax return for the relevant financial year
  
• have a total superannation balance* less than the general transfer balance cap at the end of 30 June of the previous financial year
  
• not have contributed more than your non-concessional contributions cap, and
• earn less than $58,445.
