The expected long-term rate of return is based on the weighted average of expected returns on each individual asset class
where the weightings reflect the proportion of defined benefit assets invested in each asset class. Each asset class’ expected
return is based on expectations of average returns over the next 10 years.
Employer contributions to the defined benefit superannuation plans are based on recommendations by the plans’ actuaries.
It is estimated that $104 million will be paid by Qantas for employees accruing defined benefits for the year ended 30 June 2013
(2011: $105 million for the year ended 30 June 2012).
In April 2009, following the Global Financial Crisis and the resultant weakening of QSP’s financial position, a three year additional
funding plan for the defined benefit divisions was implemented in agreement with the Trustee of the QSP. In May 2012 the additional
funding plan was extended for six months. As at 30 June 2012 Qantas has contributed a total of $83 million of additional funding
(as at 30 June 2011: total of $50 million).
The QSP’s financial position is monitored by the Trustee each quarter and the actuary recommends the amounts of additional
contributions to be made each quarter, as required under the agreed funding plan.
Defined contribution fund
The Qantas Group’s results include $157 million (2011: $154 million) of expenses in relation to defined contribution funds.
