Contacts

Should you require information on your Telstra entitlements, payments, superannuation or vehicle, you may find the following contacts useful:

 
Employee Share Offer Plan (ESOP)

If you have participated in the ESOP, you must call the Trustee on 1300 303 199 within two (2) months of leaving Telstra to arrange repayment of the interest free loan if you wish to purchase the shares.
 
Failure to contact the ESOP trustee will mean that your shares are sold. You will then receive any proceeds from the sale less the outstanding loan amount and any sale costs (eg brokers fees and stamp duty).
 







On leaving Telstra, you should investigate the wide range of services Telstra Super offers as well as the information available on Telstra Super’s website. It’s free for all Telstra Super members and won’t cost you any points to use the services!
 

Get the right advice!
 
One of the most stressful factors when facing retrenchment is the need to make decisions about your finances. You may be eligible for a number of payments and what you do with these funds could impact considerably on your tax position, eligibility for Centrelink benefits and future financial position. You’re also likely to have some questions in mind about debt management and the income you’ll live on, as you seek new employment or start up a business.

We strongly encourage you to seek free* financial planning advice from Telstra Super Financial Planning before making any decisions.

Appointments can be requested by email at appointments@telstrasuper.com.au. You can also call 1300 033 166 and dial ‘0’ to book an appointment time.
