Last Thursday, 26th March, the Green Wave team had the pleasure of attending the The Hawthorn Network Party with our CEO, Nick Hutchens, and our Head of Business Services, Annette Taylor both taking the opportunity to connect with fellow members of The Hawthorn Network.

Set against the backdrop of Harbour Lights Landing, the afternoon brought together great conversations, meaningful connections, and a shared energy among like-minded professionals.

Events like these are a reminder of the value in building strong relationships within the business community; something we truly value at Green Wave.

A great afternoon all around. Thank you to The Hawthorn Network for bringing everyone together.

We’re truly grateful to have been part of the MICM Lighthouse Gala Dinner last 19th March, surrounded by a community brought together by a shared purpose.

The Green Wave Accountants Team was proud to join MICM and Lighthouse Foundation alongside with organisations committed to adding real value to the communities they serve and supporting causes that align with their values.

It was an inspiring evening that highlighted the importance of connection, compassion, and collective action supporting young people to find stability, rebuild, and move toward a brighter future.

A meaningful night, and a powerful reminder of the impact we can create together.

Payday Super will change when super is paid, not necessarily the systems businesses use.

From 1 July 2026, super must be paid at the same time as wages and received by the employee’s super fund within 7 business days of payday.

For many businesses, the key consideration isn’t the calculation. It’s ensuring payroll processes and payment timing are aligned with the new rules.

Businesses that review their systems early avoid the stress that often comes with last-minute compliance changes.

We’ve outlined what employers should be reviewing now in our latest article.

As the Payday Super changes approach in July 2026, many businesses are still trying to determine whether their payroll processes are ready.

For most employers, the technology and payroll systems they already use will continue to work exactly as they do today. The shift is primarily about timing, visibility, and how super payments move through your payroll workflow.

This is why reviewing your process early can make a significant difference.

Preparation now helps businesses avoid unnecessary pressure as the transition date approaches.

We’ve outlined the key changes and considerations in our latest article.

06/03/2026

Many business owners are hearing about Payday Super and assuming it will require a major system overhaul.

In reality, the payroll platforms most businesses already use, such as Xero, will continue to function the same way.

What’s changing is timing and visibility.

From 1 July 2026, superannuation must be paid at the same time as wages and received by the employee’s fund within 7 business days of payday. For businesses that currently operate on quarterly payment cycles, this shift places greater importance on how payroll funds move through the process.

In most cases, preparation simply involves reviewing:
✅ how payroll payments are authorised
✅ how super contributions are processed
✅ how quickly funds reach the clearing house and super fund

This is not about reacting to change. It’s about ensuring your processes are aligned well before the deadline arrives.

We’ve outlined the key considerations in our latest article.

02/03/2026

While many businesses are just beginning to ask questions about Payday Super, our bookkeeping clients are already aligned.

From 1 July 2026, superannuation must be paid at the same time as wages and received by the employee’s super fund within 7 business days of payday.

Importantly, the authorisation process itself does not change.

If you use Xero, you will still:
✅ Process payroll
✅ Review super amounts
✅ Authorise super payments within Xero

The shift is timing; not system, platform, or structure.

Prepared businesses experience smoother change because their processes are reviewed early, not reactively.

If you would like a clearer understanding of how Payday Super may affect your payroll workflow, we’ve outlined the key considerations in our latest article: https://www.greenwaveaccountants.com.au/blog/payday-super-is-coming-what-employers-actually-need-to-prepare-for

Payday Super is changing the timing of super payments; not the system you use.

From 1 July 2026, super must be paid at the same time as wages and received by the employee’s super fund within 7 business days of payday.

For most employers using Xero, the authorisation process stays the same. You’ll still process payroll, review super amounts, and approve payments in Xero. 📈

The difference? Super is authorised at each pay run instead of quarterly.

Where businesses may face challenges isn’t the math. It’s the movement and timing of money. Manual handling, clearing house delays, and processes built around quarterly cycles can create unnecessary risk.

This isn’t about panic. It’s about process visibility. 🔍

Payday Super is often described as a tax change but isn't. ❌

The rates aren’t changing. The obligations aren’t changing.

What is changing is timing. ⌛

From July 2026, super must be received by the employee’s fund within days of payday. That means payroll systems, approvals, and cash flow timing will matter more than ever.

For many businesses, this isn’t just a compliance update. It’s a process review.

We’ve broken down what employers need to know, where risk commonly sits, and how to prepare in our latest blog:

Under Payday Super, compliance will be determined by process discipline and not intention. ⚠️

From July 2026, super must be received by the employee’s fund within days of payday. Delays caused by systems, approvals, or clearing pathways can quickly become risks.

Many employers believe they have plenty of time.

In reality, preparation often takes longer than expected when technology, payroll platforms, and internal workflows are involved.

Now is the ideal time to quietly test whether your setup can keep pace. 🔍

Payday Super is Coming! 📣

A major shift is coming to how super is paid in Australia.

From July 2026, employers will need to pay super at the same time as wages. The amount isn’t changing but the timing, systems, and internal workflows will.

For many businesses, existing payroll processes were designed around quarterly cycles. That approach will soon be outdated.

Now is the ideal time to understand whether your setup can keep pace. 🔍

How visible is your super payment pathway right now?
