to take home more pay.
Did you know?
Three things people get wrong about salary packaging.
Your employer provides the benefit. We make it work.
It's not a loophole.
Salary packaging has been part of Australian tax law since 1986. It exists so not-for-profits like Dairy Australia can offer their people more without a bigger wages budget. Dairy Australia has chosen to make it available to you.
You don't need to be a high earner.
It works on expenses you already have — rent or mortgage, groceries, bills. If you pay income tax, packaging puts some of it back in your pocket.
You don't have to work more to take home more.
Salary packaging isn't extra salary. It lowers the amount of your pay that gets taxed — same job, same hours, same salary. Just less tax, and more of it reaching your bank account.
One thing you should know: If you are applying for the Everyday Living or Meal & Entertainment benefit, these benefits are most effective when your annual income exceeds $140,000.
We're here to make it easy.
Dairy Australia has partnered with National Salary Packaging (NSP) to help you make the most of the benefits available to you.
From your first question to setting up your benefits and ongoing support, we take care of the admin and explain everything in plain English.

Associate Leases
Package a vehicle owned by your spouse or partner through an ATO-compliant Associate Lease arrangement - with no need to purchase a new car.
Portable Electronic Devices
One laptop, tablet, or smartphone per FBT year - purchased effectively tax-free for work use.
Remote Area Benefits
If you're based in a regional location, you may be eligible for additional tax concessions on housing and utilities. Ask your NSP consultant.
Personal Finance
Used cars, caravans, motorbikes, or debt consolidation. Expert sourcing across our competitive lender panel - at no cost to you.

Have a study loan? Read this first.
If you have a HECS-HELP or other study loan, the ATO works out your compulsory repayment using your taxable income plus the value of the benefits you package. That means packaging can increase your repayment — and the tax your employer normally takes out won't cover it. That's how people end up with an unexpected bill at tax time.
Estimate your repayment using the ATO's free calculator, or ask your accountant or financial adviser about your situation.
Tell your payroll team how much extra to withhold from each pay.
