Payday Super has arrived – 3 months on what has that meant for your business?

From 1 July 2026, the way employers pay super has changed, with super now required to be paid at the same time as wages.

I've put together a simple overview of what Payday Super means for employers, what has changed, and some of the practical things businesses need to be aware of if you aren't already.

Another First class Accounts conference done and dusted

Well that’s a wrap on another First Class Accounts conference. This year was in Canberra. Lots of networking with peers and so much knowledge taken away. Stayed at the beautiful “The Realm” in Barton. Welcome dinner held in the Old Parliament House, beautiful old building with so much history.

Saturday night we had the Gala Dinner & Awards presentation. I was truly humbled to walk away with an award, in my opinion, is of the most humbling, an award voted on by franchisees in the network “The Hank Middleton” award, Hank was the epitome of what a franchisee should be and I am honoured to have known him before he passed.

It will be taking pride of place in my office.

Congratulations to my fellow winners especially Deepak for being Franchisee of the year 2024 🥳🍾
