Preparing your Business for Payday Super

Please note: this event is run by the Small Business Development Corporation for small business owners in Western Australia only.

From 1 July 2026, major changes to Australia’s superannuation system will require employers to pay superannuation at the same time as wages (commonly referred to as payday super). These changes will significantly affect cash flow, payroll processes, compliance obligations, and introduce stronger penalties for non-compliance.

This practical workshop is designed to help business owners understand what’s changing, why it matters, and how to prepare well ahead of time. We’ll explain the new rules in plain English, explore how payday super may affect different types of businesses, and outline the practical steps you can take now to minimise disruption later.

You'll gain clear insights into how payday super may impact your business operations and financial planning, and what actions you should be considering well before the changes take effect.

By attending, you will reduce your business risk, plan with confidence, and ensure your business is fully prepared for payday super, instead of scrambling to comply at the last minute.

This workshop covers:

• How payday super will impact cash flow and working capital.

• Changes that may be required to payroll systems and processes.

• Key compliance risks and penalties under the new regime.

• Practical strategies to transition smoothly and stay ahead of your competitors.

This workshop is for small business owners and employers who are responsible for paying superannuation and want to understand how payday super will affect their business.
