Have you heard about Payday Super?

This is one of the biggest recent changes to Australia's super system and it benefits you! Under Payday Super, employers must pay employee superannuation guarantee contributions each payday from 1 July 2026. For example, if you normally get paid weekly, your super will need to be paid weekly as well.

You might think this already happens because you see super on your payslip. But right now, most employers only need to actually pay super into your fund at least once every three months (quarterly).

How Payday Super benefits you

With Payday Super you'll have:

• More time for your super to grow: because your super will be paid more frequently, it will reach your fund sooner and will help grow your super balance over the long term.
• Less risk of delayed or missed super payments. Payday Super is designed to make it easier for employers to pay your super with your pay, and there are also new rules around late or missed payments for employers.
• More confidence that your super has been paid on time and correctly, as it will be easier to keep track of and easier to detect any underpayments. You can check your balance and transactions at any time in Member Online. Remember, you may not see your super being paid in real time. Employers need to make sure their super payments reach your super fund within 7 business days from payday.

What you need to do

Nothing! All you need to do right now is make sure your employer, your super fund, and the ATO, all have your correct super fund details.

This will help your employer get ready for Payday Super and reduce the chance of any rejected super payments.
