Why it matters

Manage your cash flow before Payday Super begins. It’s changing how every Australian business handles super contributions. That means:

No more quarterly super payments

More frequent payment processing

New payroll and compliance routines

Tighter cash flow cycles

From 1 July 2026, all employers will be required to pay superannuation contributions each pay cycle, at the same time as wages.

For many small and medium-sized businesses, this will mean less flexibility in managing working capital and greater pressure on liquidity.

Our modelling shows the average SMB could need to unlock over $124,000 in additional working capital to stay compliant with the new laws.

Why Planning Early Matters

The shift to Payday Super is one of the biggest payroll and cash management changes in decades. By understanding your position now, you can avoid surprises later. Early planning means you can:

Stay compliant and confident when the new rules take effect
