🚨 Payday Super starts 1 July 2026 🚨

From 1 July 2026, employers will need to pay superannuation at the same time as employee wages, replacing the current quarterly payment system.

Key changes:
✅ Super paid on every payday
✅ Contributions must reach the fund within 7 business days
✅ New "Qualifying Earnings" rules apply
✅ Small Business Superannuation Clearing House expected to close from 1 July 2026

What this means for businesses:

• Cashflow planning becomes even more important

Now is the time to review your payroll systems, super processes, and employee data to ensure you're ready for the transition.

Need help preparing for Payday Super? Contact Lockwood Partners today.

🏡 RBA Update: What It Means for Homeowners

The RBA has kept interest rates on hold this month, providing some temporary relief for mortgage holders. However, with inflation still above target, further rate increases remain possible.

What this means:
✔️ Mortgage repayments remain elevated
✔️ Household budgets continue to face pressure
✔️ Borrowing capacity for buyers may be reduced
✔️ Interest rates could stay higher for longer

Now is a good time to review your home loan, reassess your budget, and explore options that could help reduce financial pressure.

If you're unsure whether your current loan is still right for you, the team at Provide Finance is here to help.
