PAYDAY SUPER STARTS 1 JULY 2026 – Planning guides

Share this article:

From 1 July 2026, super contributions will need to be paid at the same time as wages.

.

The current quarterly super payment system will be removed. In practical terms, this means:

  • Super will no longer be something you can pay later in the quarter
  • Each pay run will need to include a super payment
  • Late payments can trigger penalties much sooner than under the current rules

For many businesses, this isn’t just a technical change — it’s a cash flow and payroll process change. Businesses are most likely to be impacted if they:

  • Currently pay super quarterly
  • Run weekly or fortnightly payroll
  • Rely on manual payroll or manual super payments
  • Operate with tight or seasonal cash flow

The good news is there’s still time to prepare, but it’s something that should be reviewed well before July 2026, rather than rushed at the last minute.
