More about the government co-contribution

If you earn under $61,920 the government will contribute up to $1 for every $1 of after-tax contributions you make, up to $1,000. The full $1,000 will be available to anyone earning a total income of up to $31,920. If you earn more than $31,920, 3.33 cents will be deducted from the maximum super co-contribution for every dollar earned over $31,920.

The Australian Tax Office determines from your tax return whether or not you are eligible for the government super co-contribution and will send the amount straight to your super fund you don't have to do anything other than make your initial contribution.
