Relocation from Brisbane to Canberra was covered. We do have a higher earnings rate for super (at least until the rest of Australia is brought into line). We sometimes get to travel to cool places, including Christmas Island or Cairns, any of the capital cities, and in non-COVID times internationally too I am told.
