NSW Health moved to Single Touch Payroll in 2020 which means that you now receive your income statement via MyGov.
Single Touch Payroll
Single Touch Payroll does not change the way you are paid, it just means that tax and superannuation information is sent to the Australian Tax Office (ATO) each time your pay is processed, rather than once a year as per previous years.
You can view and keep track of your year-to-date (YTD) information in ATO online services via a myGov account.
Setting up a MyGov account
You can keep track of your YTD salary and wage information through a myGov account. Follow the below steps to create a myGov account:
- Visit myGov to create an account
- You will need an email address to register
- You can then use your email address or mobile phone number to sign in
- Once your myGov account is set up, you can link it to ATO online services
- View your YTD salary and wage information in your myGov account each time you are paid.
There is more information on the ATO website Setting up your myGov account.
Income statements
At the end of the financial year you can access your income statement via myGov.
If you are not able to, or don’t want to, create a myGov account, you can get a copy of your income statement by phoning the ATO on 13 28 61.
If you use a registered agent to lodge your tax return, they will have access to your income statement.
You can still access your payment summaries for previous years via StaffLink.

Reportable Fringe Benefits
What is a Reportable Fringe Benefit amount?
If you have entered into agreement to have Salary Packaging and/or Meal Entertainment or have been provided with fringe benefits within the Fringe Benefits Tax year ending 31 March, a Reportable Fringe Benefits Amount (RFBA) will be recorded on your income statement where the fringe benefits exceeds $2,000.
Employees who are performing exempt duties within Health Agencies are eligible to be provided with fringe benefits which are exempt from FBT up to a threshold cap pursuant to section 57A of the Fringe Benefits Tax Assessment Act 1986 (FBTAA).
Salary Packaging enables eligible employees to package certain approved fringe benefit items as FBT exempt up to the value of $9,010 per annum, and $2,650 for Meal Entertainment.
Your income statement will show your gross salary as your base salary plus any overtime and allowances, less the total value of your pre-tax benefit items, the salary packaging administration fee and the employers’ share of the tax savings.
It will also include a ‘grossed-up’ RFBA . This amount is the total amount of the taxable value of your reportable benefit items factored up by a rate set by the Australian Taxation Office.
If you Salary Packaged to the full net amount of $9,010 during the Fringe Benefit year, this will be displayed on your income statement as a RFBA of $17,000. If you claimed Meal Entertainment to the full net amount of $2,650, this will be displayed on your income statement as $5,000. If you claimed both Salary Packaging & Meal Entertainment to the full net amount, this will be displayed as $22,000.
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) recognises an eligible staff member who has a RFBA on their income statement as having received their Salary Packaging and/or Meal Entertainment tax free and as having received a fringe benefit. Should this amount be means tested by the ATO to determine the equivalent taxable gross value it would equate to an amount of $17,000 (or $22,000 if also claimed meal entertainment in full). Means testing may be undertaken for the purpose of assessing payments such as the Medicare Levy Surcharge, Higher Education Loan Payments (HELP), superannuation benefits, child support and family assistance.
