$ 330 K = yes - but I would add to the ATO comment below " as long as you are under age 75 + 28 days when the contribution is made." And I would not rely on the 28 days.

From ATO:

1 July 2022 and later years

If you are under 75 years of age at any time in a financial year you may be able to make non-concessional contributions of up to three times the annual non-concessional cap in that financial year.

If you are 75 years or older your fund may only be able to accept employer contributions and downsizer contributions.

Bernard's age makes him eligible for the bring-forward arrangement.

During the financial year he made the following non-concessional contributions to his super fund:

• $75,000 in October 2022
• $75,000 in April 2023.
