Pension Scheme CPI increase - how is it calculated?

Pension increases in the Pension Scheme are based on the movement in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) provides the official adjustment figures by measuring inflation over a period of time. When the figures are released by the ABS, Super SA uses the All Groups Index for Adelaide to determine what adjustments need to be made.

How often do they take place?

CPI adjustments are made twice a year, retrospectively and adjusted on the first payment days in April and October. If you have been receiving a pension for less than six months, a proportion of the percentage adjustment will be applied.

What's the latest increase?

From 1 October 2016 the CPI adjustment for your pension will be 0.19% which reflects the CPI movement for the period December 2015 quarter to June 2016 quarter.
