We are thrilled to celebrate Judi's 20-year journey with our firm! Judi Cramp joined us two decades ago as an Administration Assistant, and her dedication and hard work have seen her grow into the respected Office Manager she is today. She is an integral part of our team.

Outside of work Judi enjoys spending time with family and friends, is a Fremantle Docker supporter and can be found attending quite a few of their games during the season.

Thank you, Judi, for everything you've brought to our team and to our clients. We're grateful for the incredible journey we've shared and look forward to many more years together!

From soaking up the island vibes to enjoying food and drinks at the pub, it was the perfect chance to relax, connect and enjoy each other’s company outside the office.
A great day with a great team — memories made and laughs shared. 🙌🛥️🍻

📣 Employer Alert: Payday Super Starts 1 July 2026 — Are You Ready?
Big changes are coming to Australia’s superannuation system. From 1 July 2026, employers must pay Superannuation Guarantee (SG) contributions on payday, not quarterly. This shift is designed to reduce unpaid super, improve employee retirement outcomes, and give businesses greater transparency and control over compliance.
To help employers prepare, the ATO has released an official Payday Super Checklist outlining what to do now, what to plan between February and March, what to lock in by June, and how to ensure your payroll systems and cashflow are ready for the new requirements.
Start preparing today.
Review your payroll processes, update employee super details, check your software readiness, and plan your transition date ahead of 1 July 2026.
