To contribute these amounts to your super you would need to do so through a salary sacrifice arrangement (https://www.ato.gov.au/general/fringe-benefits-tax-(fbt)/in-detail/employees/salary-sacrifice-arrangements-for-employees/). The arrangement would need to be in place prior to accruing the benefit. If no arrangement was in place prior to accruing leave, for example, it cannot be salary sacrificed.
