Here are the rules:
- To access potential unused concessional contributions from prior years, you must have a total super balance of less than $500,000 at 30 June of the preceding financial year.
- Unused concessional contributions carry forward for a maximum of five years and then are lost
- The first year that unused contributions start accruing is 2018/19
- The first year that a member can access unused concessional contributions in 2019/20.
