This FOI disclosure contains Department of Health and Aged Care salary packaging policy documentation for employees. It outlines eligibility criteria (all ongoing employees including Senior Executive Service can participate; probationers and casual staff have restrictions), administration through three approved providers (Smart Salary, SG Fleet, Maxxia), and categorizes packageable items as fringe benefits tax exempt (professional memberships, employer parking, mobile phones, childcare), concessionally taxed (novated vehicle leases, superannuation), or otherwise deductible (insurance, home office expenses). The document advises employees to seek independent financial advice before entering arrangements, notes that administrative fees may offset tax savings, and clarifies the department assumes no liability for financial or taxation advice. No specific medical devices, pharmaceuticals, vaccines, or clinical health programs are discussed—this is general employment benefits policy documentation.
