Why South Australian government employees are well placed for a novated lease
A novated lease works best with a stable salary, packaging through your employer, and regular driving. South Australian government roles fit that, which is why so many SA public servants use one.
- A secure, predictable salary
- Salary packaging offered through South Australian government departments and agencies
- The full electric vehicle FBT exemption on an eligible EV
- One pre-tax payment covering the car and its running costs
Your employer and salary packaging
Salary packaging is widely available across South Australian government employers, including SA Health, the Department for Education, SA Police and many departments and agencies. That is all you need to novate a car. Your quote is built with South Australian stamp duty and registration, so the figure is right for SA, not a national average. See our South Australia page for the on-road detail.
The electric car angle
An eligible battery-electric car under the $91,661 fuel-efficient threshold is FBT exempt, usually the biggest saving of all, and governments are actively encouraging EV uptake. See the EV novated lease page for the eligible cars.
An honest note: FBT exempt means no fringe benefits tax is payable, but the benefit is still reported on your income statement. That reported amount can affect income-tested things like HECS or HELP repayments, the Medicare levy surcharge, and family payments. Our calculator and team will always show you the full picture.

Common questions
Can South Australian government employees get a novated lease?
Yes. Most SA government departments and agencies offer salary packaging, so South Australian public servants, including SA Health, education and SA Police staff, can package a novated lease and pay for a car from pre-tax salary.
Does the quote include SA stamp duty and rego?
Yes. The drive-away price in your quote includes South Australian stamp duty and registration, so the amount financed and your weekly cost are right for SA.
Do SA government employees get the EV FBT exemption?
Yes. The EV exemption is federal and applies regardless of employer or state, so an SA government employee leasing an eligible electric car gets the same large saving. South Australia is also encouraging EV uptake.
