Today’s announcement by the Government to increase the frequency of superannuation guarantee payments to align with wage and salary cycles is a welcome outcome that will benefit Australian consumers.
CEO of the FSC, Blake Briggs said, “This is a sensible change flagged by the Government that will improve transparency and consumer engagement in the superannuation system.
“Aligning the timing of when employers are required to pay superannuation with wages will make it easier for people to keep on top of their superannuation.”
The FSC notes the measure will commence from 1 July 2026 and intends to work with the Government on implementing the proposal in a way that addresses the potential impact on small businesses.
“The Government has also shown regard to the needs of small businesses by providing a considerable implementation timeframe,” Mr Briggs added.
