g. Employee benefit obligations

(i) Superannuation plan
The consolidated entity contributes to the ASC Superannuation Fund (Fund) that provides for a combination of accumulation and defined benefits. Employees contribute to the Fund at various percentages of their gross income. The consolidated entity also contributes to the Fund at varying contribution rates depending on the category of fund membership of each member.

Members of the Fund are entitled to benefits on retirement, disability or death.

The trustee of the fund is Equity Trustees Limited. OneVue Super Member Administration Pty Ltd is the administrator of the fund.

The investment policies and strategies of the trustee of the Fund are to invest the assets of the Fund in a manner to ensure compliance with the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act and any other legislation. The trustee has formulated and given effect to an investment strategy that recognises the whole of the Fund's circumstances, including the risk and potential return of investments in relation to the Fund's investment objectives.

The investment strategy has regard to the diversification of the Fund's investments, the liquidity of its investments, its expected cash flow requirements and ability of the Fund to discharge its existing and prospective liabilities. The risk management policies of the Fund permits the investment in externally managed investment funds and prohibits direct investment in debt and equity securities and derivative instruments. For the defined benefit category of memberships, members are provided with a benefit upon their salary, years of service and accrual rate.

(ii) Defined benefit pension plans
The consolidated entity makes contributions to a defined benefit superannuation fund that provides defined benefits for employees on retirement. The fund provides defined benefits based on years of service and final average salary.

An actuarial assessment of the fund as at 30 June 2019 was carried out by David O'Keefe, Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries of Australia, of ALEA Actuarial Consulting Pty Limited in June 2019.

The actuary concluded that the assets of the defined benefit category of the fund are sufficient to meet all benefits payable in the event of the defined benefit category's termination, or the voluntary or compulsory termination of employment of each employee of the consolidated entity.

Statement of financial position amount
The amounts recognised in the statement of financial position and the movements in the net defined benefit obligation over the year as follows:

Contributions by the Company and its controlled entities to the defined benefits plan are based on 11% of all defined members' salaries for the year ended 30 June 2019. Actuarial assessments are made at no more than three yearly intervals. The last such full assessment was made as at 22 November 2018 and the next triennial review will be on 1 July 2021.

The objective of the funding is to ensure that the benefit entitlements of members and other beneficiaries are fully funded by the time they become payable. To achieve this objective, the actuary has adopted a method of funding benefits known as the aggregate funding method. The funding method seeks to have benefits funded by means of a total contribution which is expected to be a constant percentage of members' salaries over their working lifetimes.

Using the funding method described above and particular actuarial assumptions as to the plan's future performance (as detailed in the sections below), the actuary recommended in the actuarial review as at 30 June 2016 that a contribution needs to be made by the Company and its controlled entities to the Fund for employees who are members of the defined benefit plan. The recommendation of the actuary has been adopted by the Company and its controlled entities.

(iii) Post-employment benefits (pension and medical)
Significant estimate: actuarial assumptions and sensitivity
The significant actuarial assumptions were as follows:

Discount rate
Salary growth rate

The sensitivity of the defined benefit obligation to changes in the significant assumptions is:

Balance sheet amounts
The major categories of plan assets are as follows:

Risk exposure
Through its defined benefit plan, the Group is exposed to a number of risks, the most significant of which are detailed below:

Asset volatility
The plan liabilities are calculated using a discount rate set with reference to corporate bond yields. If plan assets under perform this yield, this will create a deficit. The plan holds a significant proportion of equities, which are expected to outperform corporate bonds in the long term while providing volatility and risk in the long term. To reduce the volatility within the investment strategy supporting the defined benefit assets, a 50/50 asset allocation (50% growth and 50% defensive assets) in the fund assets was introduced in 2015. KMPG's modelling indicated an investment return of 6-7% could be targeted using a 50/50 portfolio.

Changes in bond yields
A decrease in corporate bond yields will increase plan liabilities, although this will be partially offset by an increase in the value of the plan's bond holdings.

Inflation risks
The majority of the plans' defined benefit obligations are linked to salary inflation, and higher inflation will lead to higher liabilities. The majority of the plan's assets are either unaffected by or loosely correlated with inflation, meaning that an increase in inflation will also increase the deficit.

(iv) Defined benefit liability employer contributions
The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligation is 6 years (2018: 6 years). The expected maturity analysis of discounted defined benefit obligations is as follows:

(v) Amounts recognised in profit or loss
The amounts recognised in profit or loss are as follows:

(vi) Amounts recognised in other comprehensive income:

h. Provisions

(i) Information about individual provisions and significant estimates
Employee benefits, including on costs
The current portion includes all unconditional annual leave and long service leave entitlements including on costs where employees have completed the required period of service and also those where employees are entitled to prorata payments in certain circumstances.

The current portion includes the entire amount that the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement.

The non-current portion represents the present value of the estimated future cash outflows of long service leave where there is no probability that the Group could have to pay out the provision within the next 12 months.

Self insured workers compensation
The consolidated entity is self insured for risks associated with workers' compensation for all staff in South Australia. A provision is raised when an incident occurs that may give rise to a workers' compensation claim. The curren \portion of the provision is expected to be settled in the next financial year. This estimate is based on historical claim information and any recent trends that may suggest future claims could differ from historical amounts.

The workers compensation provision of ASC Shipbuilding was transferred to Return to Work SA upon separation of ASC Shipbuilding from the ASC Group.

(ii) Movements in provisions
Movements in each class of provision during the financial year, other than employee benefits, are set out below:

The current portion for employee benefits includes accrued annual leave and long service leave. For long service leave it covers all unconditional entitlements where employees have completed the required period of service and also those where employees are entitled to pro-rata payments in certain circumstances.

$34.6 million (2018: $47.0 million) is presented as current, since the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for those amounts.

However, based on past experience, the Group does not expect all employees to take the full amount of current accrued leave or require payment within the next 12 months.

i. Recognised fair value measurements

(i) Fair value hierarchy
Disclosed fair values

The Group has a number of assets and liabilities which are not measured at fair value, but for which fair values are disclosed in the notes.
