Can I get co-contribution and tax deduction if I claim tax deduction partially?

I am planning to make after-tax contributions for my wife. If she wants the co-contribution, she has to make the contributions herself. For example, if she makes after-tax contributions of $3000 and claims a tax deduction for only $2000, would the ATO calculate and deposit $500 into her super account? Yes - if all eligibility tests are met. https://www.ato.gov.au/individuals-and-families/super-for-individuals-and-families/super/growing-and-keeping-track-of-your-super/how-to-save-more-in-your-super/government-super-contributions/super-co-contribution
