We help Australians

NALSPA recognises the crucial role of salary packaging in the financial wellbeing of Australians. Salary sacrifice arrangements, motor vehicle salary packaging, and tool-of-trade management provide significant benefits in managing household budgets and optimising employer remuneration programs across various organisations.

Our mission at NALSPA is to preserve and enhance the regulatory framework supporting salary packaging. We aim to ensure that these arrangements remain a powerful financial tool, benefiting both employers and employees throughout Australia. This commitment is vital for maintaining a stable environment where these programs can flourish.

We focus on preserving the macro-economic benefits of the current Fringe Benefit Taxation policy settings and effectively communicating these advantages to stakeholders. Our goal is to ensure that the benefits of salary packaging are well understood and best utilised by policymakers and the broader community.

NALSPA’s approach involves proactive engagement with policymakers and stakeholders through thoughtful dialogue. We advocate for decisions based on rigorous analysis and continuous stakeholder engagement. This collaborative strategy supports our advocacy efforts and ensures that the interests of our members and the broader community are well-represented.

70% of SFM users teach our children, keep us healthy, respond to emergencies, look after the less fortunate or serve us in Government
The distribution of SFM users approximates the general population. Employee participation is broadly spread across all segments of the market.
