Around 11,000 ex Ansett employees will receive their superannuation entitlements a decade after the company was put into administration. The Trustee, Mercer Superannuation, has advised the Federal Government that approximately $16 million has been paid to members.

 

The Ansett Residual Superannuation Fund was established in 2004 by the former trustees of the Ansett Australia Ground Staff Superannuation Plan and the Ansett Australia Flight Attendants Superannuation Plan to pay outstanding death and disablement claims before distributing the remaining assets to members.

 

"Payments have been made progressively over the last few months and by 28 June 2012, all outstanding superannuation entitlements have been paid,” Minister for Superannuation Bill Shorten said.
