Creative’s Guide to Superannuation

Presented by Museums & Galleries of NSW on behalf of NETS Australia

Oh so boring, and so necessary. All creative practitioners and arts professionals should be able to understand the basics of superannuation.

Superannuation is a tricky topic with ever-changing rules and special caveats for the creative industries. Creative’s Guide to Superannuation is a comprehensive and surprisingly fun webinar designed for those who need details for their professional practice. This session examines how superannuation works for creatives and the rules for paying, and being paid, your super.

With a specific focus on the arts and creative industries, this webinar will cover:

·         The basics of how superannuation works for everyone in Australia

·         Navigating the new rules of Payday Super and the changes in July 2026

·         What 'Qualified Earnings' mean for your organisation

·         The ‘Superannuation Guarantee for Contractors’ and the caveats for creatives

·         Where to go for more help

·         Participants can also ask questions and get access to more resources and support

What do I get?  All participants of this workshop also receive:

·         Lifetime access to a Dropbox folder jam-packed with additional resources and helpful links.

·         Access to additional free webinars to supplement the material covered in the session.

·         The possibility of further one-to-one business advice, mentoring and support from one of our creative industries business specialist advisors. We have a whole team ready to help!
