Pay Day Super is coming, which means:

✔️ Super must be paid at the same time as wages
✔️ No more waiting until quarter end
✔️ Less chance of missed or late super payments
✔️ Employees get their money working for them sooner

⚠️ Key transition point:
Your June 2026 quarter super must be paid before your first payroll in July — no overlap, no grace period.

For employers:
👉 You’ll need to manage cashflow more closely
👉 Payroll systems may need updating
👉 Compliance will be more visible (ATO will see it faster)

For employees:
👉 More frequent contributions = better long-term growth
👉 Greater transparency on what’s being paid

Need help getting ready? Reach out — better to plan now than scramble later.

💰 PAY DAY SUPER IS COMING — 1 JULY 2026 💰

From 1 July 2026, super will be required to be paid at the same time as employees are paid — not quarterly.
What this means for employers:

✔️ Super contributions will need to be processed each pay cycle
✔️ Payroll systems may need updating to ensure compliance
✔️ Cash flow planning will become more important
✔️ Paying super on time will reduce the risk of penalties and super guarantee charge

The move to Pay Day Super is designed to improve transparency, reduce unpaid super, and help employees grow their retirement savings sooner.

Now is the time to review your payroll processes and get ready. Don't wait until 1 July 2026 to know you have a problem. ACT NOW!

🚨 SCAM ALERT: ATO & MyGov Accounts Being Targeted 🚨

Scammers are finding new ways to break into people’s myGov and ATO accounts — and one of the latest tricks involves fake DocuSign emails.

📩 These emails look like they’re from DocuSign, asking you to sign or review an ATO or tax-related document. But once you click the link, it takes you to a fake myGov or ATO login page designed to steal your username, password, and even two-factor codes.

Here’s how to stay safe:
✅ Never click links in emails or texts that claim to be from the ATO, myGov, or DocuSign. Always go directly to my.gov.au by typing it yourself.
✅ Turn on two-factor authentication (2FA) for your myGov account — it makes it much harder for scammers to get in.
✅ Check the sender’s address carefully — fake DocuSign emails often come from slightly misspelled or unfamiliar domains.
✅ Keep an eye out for unusual activity — unexpected login codes, password resets, or changes to your account details can all be warning signs.
✅ Use strong, unique passwords for each account.

If you think someone’s accessed your account:
🔹 Call the ATO’s dedicated scam line: 1800 008 540
🔹 Visit the official site for updates: ato.gov.au/scams

These scams are getting more convincing — please share this to help keep others safe. 🛡️

58 Australians will be diagnosed with breast cancer today and a further 9 will die. We want to make a difference to the lives of those 58 Australians impacted by the disease - that is why we are taking on the 58 Squat Challenge to raise vital funds for world-class breast cancer research. But we need your help.

Please support our squat challenge to save lives and make a difference.

Every donation, big or small, will get us closer to reaching our goal and helping the National Breast Cancer Foundation end deaths from breast cancer.

This March, I am taking on the 58 Squat Challenge with my team Con Car Crew. We are completing 58 squats a day for 31 days and raising funds for vital breast cancer research. Please support us by making a donation to our fundraising page today!
