From 1 July 2026, employers will need to pay employees’ super at the same time as their wages — instead of quarterly. This change is known as “Payday Super.”
What this means
Super must be paid and received by the fund within 7 days of each payday.
The Small Business Superannuation Clearing House will close from 1 October 2025 (and fully end 1 July 2026).
The rules are designed to make sure employees’ super is paid regularly and on time.
What you can do now
Review your payroll system – Check if it can handle super payments every pay run.
Speak with your software provider – Ask if updates will be needed to meet the new rules.
Plan for cashflow – Paying super more often may mean smaller, more regular outflows.
Move away from the ATO clearing house – If you currently use it, start looking at alternatives.
Keep an eye out for updates – The ATO will release more details and guidance closer to the start date.
