What isn’t widely known is that all contractors to Local Government are also eligible to join APS Benefits and take advantage of all benefits, as well as employees and contractors to Registered Charities and Volunteer organizations, such as the SES and CFA. Spouses, siblings, parents and children of members who are aged 16 and above are also encouraged to join the society.
APS Benefits has over 24,500 members around Australia with assets over $56 million. The society released a Special Purpose Loan facility in 2005 that has loaned members over $1.38 million. Members with reasonable equity in their homes can apply for a loan of up to $30,000 for a special purpose, such as property renovation, a holiday, car purchase or an approved investment.
When you become a member of APS Benefits, you will automatically be entitled to a funeral benefit issued by APS Benefits. There is a Combined Financial Services Guide and Product Disclosure Statement for the funeral benefit, which can be obtained from www.apsbs.com.au. You should consider that document and whether the funeral benefit is appropriate for you, before deciding whether to become or remain a member of APS Benefits.
