In an effort to reduce wage theft and prevent losses in retirement income for many Australians, the government is seeking to legislate its payday super measure, as first proposed in the 2023-24 Federal Budget. As the first step, a consultation paper has been released which proposes two models that could be used to implement the measure. Based on the outcomes of the consultation, the government will redesign the super compliance framework to incorporate payday super, which is proposed to commence from 1 July 2026 subject to the passage of legislation.
