        (1)         Subject to subregulations (2), (3) and (8), the following persons are not members of the scheme:

            (a)         a person employed pursuant to a fixed term contract that—

                  (i)         requires the employer to provide for or contribute towards benefits for the employee in a scheme of superannuation other than the Triple S scheme; and

                  (ii)         does not expressly state that the provision or contribution by the employer referred to in subparagraph (i) is in addition to the employee's membership of the Triple S scheme;

            (b)         a person employed by the Electoral Commissioner pursuant to section 12(2) of the Electoral Act 1985 whose remuneration in respect of that employment does not exceed $450 per month;

            (c)         a person who is a member of a Board or Committee that is an agency or instrumentality of the Crown and whose remuneration in respect of membership of the Board or Committee does not exceed $450 per month;

            (d)         a person employed to do work of a non recurring nature or to do seasonal work and whose remuneration in respect of that employment does not exceed $450 per month;

            (e)         a medical practitioner in respect of employment by a hospital incorporated under the Health Care Act 2008 where the medical practitioner is paid on a "fee for service" basis.

        (2)         A member of—

            (a)         the State Scheme or of any other scheme established by or under an Act; or

            (b)         a scheme of superannuation established for the benefit of employees of an agency or instrumentality of the Crown,

becomes a member of the Triple S scheme whenever an entitlement to benefits needs to accrue to the member under the Triple S scheme to satisfy the requirements of the Commonwealth Act.

        (3)         If the employer contributions pursuant to a contract referred to in subregulation (1)(a) are not sufficient to reduce the charge percentage under the Commonwealth Act to zero, the employee is a member of the Triple S scheme.

        (4)         A person who has made an election under regulation 10 is a member of the Triple S scheme.

        (5)         A person who has made an election under regulation 12(1) or 13(1), or is taken to have made an election under regulation 13(1), is a member of the Triple S scheme.

        (5a)         A PSS 3 member who has elected under section 36 of the Parliamentary Superannuation Act 1974 to take out voluntary invalidity/death insurance (and who is not, at the time of making the election, a member of the Triple S scheme) becomes a member of the Triple S scheme on the making of the election.

        (6)         If—

            (a)         a person who is not a member of the Triple S scheme has an entitlement to a lump sum under Part 5 or under the provisions of an Act that correspond to that Part; and

            (b)         that entitlement is to be retained in the Fund, or rolled over for payment into the Fund (as the case may be),

then that person becomes a member of the Triple S scheme by force of this subregulation.

        (7)         If a co-contribution or benefit rolled over from another superannuation fund or scheme is paid to the Board for a person who is a member of the State Scheme or the Police Superannuation Scheme but not, at the time of the payment, a member of the Triple S scheme, the person becomes a member of the Triple S scheme by virtue of this subregulation when the payment is received by the Board.

        (8)         The following persons are members of the Triple S scheme in order to provide them with superannuation benefits in place of benefits that would have accrued to them under the PSESS Scheme if that scheme had continued for their benefit after 30 June 1992:
