Your super may not be your biggest priority right now. But if you're not accessing the Government co-contribution, you could be missing a great opportunity for some free super.

This financial year is the last year the Government is offering up to $1,000 in super co-contributions, with the maximum co-contribution likely to drop to $500 next year. It's simple to take advantage of this free hit for your super. But you will need to act before 30 June.

How does the Government co-contribution work?

• You make an after-tax super contribution before 30 June;
• If you're eligible, the Government will put some money in your super account too. The amount you receive will depend on your income, and how much you contribute;
• The free super is added to your super account after you lodge your tax return.

The maximum co-contribution of $1,000 is available if you earn less than $31,920 in 2011/12, and if you contribute $1,000 of your own money. If you earn between $31,920 and $61,920, the amount the Government chips in reduces on a sliding scale.
