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. For example, if you normally get paid weekly, your super now needs to be paid weekly as well.

Before 1 July 2026, most employers only needed to actually pay super into your fund every three months (quarterly).

How Payday Super benefits you

With Payday Super you have:

• More time for your super to grow: because your super is paid more frequently, it reaches your fund sooner, which helps 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.
• More confidence that your super has been paid on time and correctly, as it is 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! Just make sure your employer, your super fund, and the ATO, all have your correct super fund details.

This helps your employer pay your super on time and reduces the chance of any rejected super payments.
