Salary packaging gives your staff 6-12% more take-home pay. This increase means they’ll have the financial freedom to pay off their mortgage earlier, upgrade their car, or even go on a family holiday. Plus, they’ll have extra money for life’s emergencies.
What would your team do with a 6-12% increase in their take-home pay?
How much extra take home pay will your team get?
Employees of eligible not for profits can salary package a maximum of $15,899 tax-free each FBT year (1 April-31 March). Their exact additional take home pay will depend on their annual salary; we take the time to walk them through the benefits they’ll receive, accounting for their unique circumstances.

What can your team spend this money on?
Salary packaged funds can be used to take care of regular payments such as:
- Mortgage
- Rent
- Credit cards
- Personal loans
- Bills and utilities
- School fees
In fact, any routine payment that can be paid electronically (and for which acceptable proof of debt can be provided) can usually be set up through CBB. Our excellent customer service means that we take the hassle out of life admin and help your staff manage their finances more proactively.
Funds can also be transferred onto a CBB Salary Packaging Card, which lets your staff use tax-free dollars to pay for groceries, petrol and other household goods.
Sign up to offer salary packaging with CBB
How does it work?
Your staff opt into salary packaging by booking a sign up appointment with a member of the CBB team. We take the time to ensure each of your employees are fully aware of their entitlements under salary packaging, and provide a tailored pay analysis that includes student debt and child support. Here, we help your team choose the regular payments they want us to pay with their salary packaged funds.
Each pay cycle we let your payroll team know which of your staff have signed up, and what amount they have chosen to have deducted from their pay for salary packaging.
Your payroll team sends your staff members’ tax-free income to CBB, and then pays the remaining salary to your team as normal income.
We process your employees’ chosen regular payments on their behalf. These payments can be changed at any time – always for free!
Remote Area Benefit
In addition to the $15,899 tax-free from salary packaging, some (or all) of your team may be able to access the Remote Area Benefit (RAB) scheme.
RAB is a tax concession from the Australian Federal Government that allows eligible employees to claim up to 50% of certain expenses associated with living and working in a remote location. This can include some travel costs, too!
To be eligible for RAB, an employee must:
- live in a home and work for an organisation that are both defined by the ATO as being in a remote area; and
- be renting or paying interest on a mortgage on the property in which they live in the remote area.
