Super is short for Superannuation. 

Super is a way of saving for your retirement. Your employer is required to pay a percentage of your earnings into your super account, and the super fund invests that money until you retire. 

At KFC, we automatically create a REST Super fund for you at the beginning of your employment. However, you can nominate a preferred Super fund at any time you choose. just speak to your Restaurant Manager.

When buying a car, there is no single best solution when it comes to buying insurance. When making your decision on what type of insurance to get, make sure that price is not the only factor you think about when you choose your motor vehicle insurance.

There are a number of different types of car insurance: 

• Compulsory Third Party (CTP): this is a requirement for all drivers in order to be able to drive the car on the road. it protects any person that you might injure while you are driving. This does not protect you against any property damage to your vehicle or someone else's in the event of an accident. 
   
• Comprehensive: this covers damage to your own vehicle, other people's vehicle/property, as well as theft and some other potential risks - such at legal costs. 
   
• Third Part Property: this covers damage to other peoples property & legal costs, but not damage to your own vehicle. 
   
• Third Party Fire & Theft: this covers damage to other peoples property & legal costs, as well as your vehicle if it is stolen or is damaged through fire.

Whether you own or rent, your home and possessions are precious. Home and/or contents insurance is available to help offer peace of mind and lowers potential financial pain should you need to repair your home or replace damaged or stolen goods. 

You can choose to insure your property, its contents, or both.

The most common forms of household insurance are:

• Home insurance – covers financial losses associated with damage or loss of a property you own. Often used when you own the dwelling/home.
   
• Contents insurance – covers financial losses caused by the loss, theft or damage of your possessions. Often used where you are the tenant in a rented property. 
   
• Home and Contents – policies that combine the features of both home and contents insurance. Often used when you are the owner/occupier of the dwelling/home. 
   
• Renter’s or tenant’s insurance – a low-cost contents policy for tenants that provides limited cover for events such as fire and theft. 
   
• Landlord’s insurance – covers the risks associated with renting out a property. 
   
• Strata insurance – covers financial losses associated with damage or loss to a property that operates under a strata-title, company title or torrens title arrangement with multiple units.

Travelling, whether it be interstate or overseas for personal or business reasons unfortunately involves some risk.

Some of these risks could include the financial losses you experience due to travel changes, cancellation or interruption, medical expenses, baggage damage or theft, and more.

Travel insurance policy's can provide you with cover for potential financial losses caused by unforeseen events that can affect your trip, whether they occur before, during or even after your trip. 

Travel insurance should be a priority in all travel arrangements, whether you travel regularly, occasionally or you are setting off on a once-in-a-lifetime trip. Some holidays, such as ski trips or voyages on cruise ships, may require special policies.

The Department of Foreign affairs and Trade, within the Australian Government advises that travel insurance is as important as a passport, regardless of your destination.

Travel insurers offer a number of policies that include cover for individuals, families and couples, and some also offer multi-trip and annual policies for frequent travellers.
