After you’ve transferred your photos, contacts and apps, your myID needs a little attention.

If you’ve got a new device, you’ll need to set up your myID again and re-verify your ID before you can access online services… even if you transferred the app from your old phone. This helps keep your myID secure.

Here’s what you need to do:
👉 download the app
👉 select ‘Yes, I have used myID’
👉 follow the prompts.

💳 Card payment surcharge changes are coming!

From 1 October 2026, businesses can't apply a separate surcharge when customers pay by card. This includes Visa, Mastercard, eftpos and American Express transactions.

Until then, businesses must continue to follow the current card payment surcharging laws.

📢 Important!
Businesses will still pay card processing fees, although reduced interchange fee caps may help lower costs for small businesses.

These changes only affect card payment surcharges. Other charges, such as hospitality weekend and public holiday surcharges, booking fees and similar fees, are not affected.

✅ What should businesses do now?
Review your pricing, payment processes and payment provider arrangements ahead of the changes to understand how they may affect your costs and customers.

‼️ Paying super now happens in line with each payday, just like wages.

Here’s what matters now:
✨ the 7-day rule.
Super must be paid within 7 business days after payday
✨ your pay cycle remains the same.
If you’re paid weekly, your super is processed weekly too (not quarterly)
✨ the amount of super is the same. It’s just the frequency that’s changed.

👉 When your super hits your fund sooner, it has more time to grow over your working life.
It also makes it easier to spot unpaid super👀 (and take quick action if something doesn’t look right).
