Important information for Members & Employers

Important information for Members & Employers from 1 March 2022

This notification is to let you know that we will be changing our Administrator effective 1 March 2022.

The Trustee has decided to transfer the administrative services currently being undertaken by AMCO Pty Ltd to Independent Fund Administrators & Advisers Pty Ltd (IFAA). This change will occur from 1 March 2022.

This decision was not made lightly by the Trustee considering the long-term arrangements that have been in place with AMCO. The Trustee feels confident that IFAA will provide improved services and technology to the employers and members of CIRT and JETCO.

What does this mean?

The transition project commenced in December last year and preparations for the change are progressing well. From 1 March 2022 the below information will be important to note:

Some services will be affected from 1 March 2022

To ensure a successful transfer of both employer and member accounts to the new administrator, some necessary steps are required to be taken.

From 5pm (AEST) 28 February 2022 until 7 March 2022 some transactions will be limited on CIRT accounts. This will impact contributions, benefits and account updates during this period.

However, if you have an urgent request, please contact us on enquiries@cirt.com.au or 1300 200 123 so that we can assist you.

Need assistance understanding the changes?

If you require clarification on any matter, please call the CIRT and JETCO Contact Centre on 1300 200 123 from 1 March 2022.

Yours faithfully

Peter Ong

Chairperson
