            (a)         who was a contributory member of the SA Ambulance Service Superannuation Scheme (the "ambulance scheme") before electing to become a member of the Triple S scheme and has not reached his or her normal retirement date for the purposes of the ambulance scheme; or

            (b)         who—

                  (i)         commenced his or her employment with SA Ambulance Service Inc on or after 1 July 2008; and

                  (ii)         is classified as an operations employee under the SA Ambulance Service Award ; and

is required, subject to subregulations (2) and (3), to make contributions to the Treasurer at a rate of at least 4.5% of salary.

        (2)         If a member to whom subregulation (1) applies has made a fund selection, and the member's selected fund is Super SA Select, the member must make the contributions required under subregulation (1) to Super SA Select rather than the Treasurer.

        (3)         Subregulation (1) does not apply to a member who is making salary sacrifice contributions at a rate of at least 5.3% of salary.

        (4)         If subregulation (1) ceases to apply to a member, the member will be taken to have made an election under section 20(1)(a) of the Act to make contributions to the Treasurer at the rate at which the member was contributing immediately before that cessation (and, accordingly, regulation 17 will apply as if such an election had been made).
