Big news for Australian businesses: the way you pay superannuation is about to change dramatically. From 1 July 2026, employers will need to pay their staff’s superannuation guarantee (SG) at the same time as wages, whether that’s weekly, fortnightly, or monthly. No more quarterly catchups the future is payday super.
This reform, described as one of the most significant changes to the super system in decades, aims to tackle unpaid super and boost retirement savings for millions of Australians. The SG rate will remain at 12%, but timing is everything: contributions must hit employees’ super funds within seven business days of payday.
Why the change?
- Faster payments mean employees’ super grows sooner (hello, compound interest!)
- Greater transparency makes it harder for unpaid super to slip through the cracks.
- Employers benefit from cleaner books and fewer liabilities hanging around.
What happens if you miss the mark?
The penalty framework is no joke:
- Up to 60% of the shortfall as an administrative uplift.
- Daily interest until the payment lands.
- And yes, the ATO will be watching -but with a practical compliance approach in the first year.
The ATO’s draft guidance introduces a three-tier risk system:
- Low risk: You spot an error and fix it quickly.
- Medium risk: You miss payday but catch up within 28 days after the quarter ends.
- High risk: You’re still behind after that window; expect serious scrutiny.
With seven months to prepare, now is the time to review payroll systems, cash flow, and processes. Think of it as a chance to future-proof your compliance and maybe even impress your bookkeeper.
Bottom line?
Payday Super isn’t just a rule change; it’s a cultural shift in how we think about employee entitlements. Start planning now, because July 2026 will be here faster than you can say “SG contribution.”

What’s your Favorite quote or motto?

Favorite book, movie, or TV show?
There is far too many to choose from! Since I’m on my third (I think) read through at the moment I’m going to go with the Throne of Glass books.
Favorite app, tool or lifehack you can’t live without?

What’s something you’re excited to learn from your teammates?
I love being a sponge and learning as many things from as many perspectives as I can. I love that at Dream I am exposed to so many different admin areas, clients and a great team of experts!
At Dream Admin, making a difference goes beyond the services we provide it’s about living our values every day. Two values that guide us strongly are Community and Teamwork.
This November, our team came together to put these values into action by donating Dignity Bags and Ushers Lane to support people living in crisis. Each bag was filled with life’s essentials and a few luxury items to bring comfort and dignity to those who need it most.
We feel privileged to use our business, skills, and resources to support causes close to our hearts especially those that help disadvantaged children and promote mental health. Contributing to initiatives like Dignity Bags reminds us that small acts of kindness can create a big impact.

We love celebrating the incredible businesses we work with! This month, we sat down with Kelly known to many as “Sparkles” from Instyle Property Group to learn more about her inspiring journey.
From a life-changing conversation with her mum to building a boutique real estate agency grounded in honesty, integrity, and genuine care, Kelly’s story is one of courage, passion, and community.
We asked her a few questions to uncover what inspired her to start Instyle Property Group, what makes her business unique, and how Dream Admin helps her achieve her goals. Here’s her story…
What inspired you to start your business?
Raw, honest, story… here it is! I truly need to thank my mother, who sadly passed away after a double lung transplant. Sitting at St Vincents Hospital in Sydney, she told me I was miserable in my work and reminded me that life is far too short!
I was working in the Government for 21 years, where I felt trapped; uninspired, treated like number, but worked hard, and was well remunerated, but it wasn’t enough! Thank you, Mum, you inspired me to be brave, strong and want more, descent for better things, I wanted to be in the position to love what I did.
I had a love of real estate, a passion for our local community and wanted to align these two aspects of my life and bring my strong values to the table, I wanted to drive this. It took some time but with loving support from my husband and family, which was incredible, Instyle Property Group (Real Estate) was born. Thank you to my wonderful village that has supported and continue to support Instyle Property Group xx. Ps, I love what I do now!
What makes your business unique in your industry or community?
Instyle Property Group was created with a clear purpose: to build a boutique independent real estate agency shaped by the country values I grew up with in Goulburn; honesty, integrity, transparency, and genuine care. To me, your word means something and doing what you say you’ll do, and I wanted to build an agency that lived by those principles every day.
I also wanted to be someone people could genuinely rely on, the person they trust to guide them through one of life’s biggest financial decisions with confidence and clarity when purchasing, selling or investing in property. I felt there was a real opportunity to offer a more authentic, down-to-earth real estate experience: real conversations, straightforward advice, and strong results without compromising on cost or quality.
Built on deep local knowledge, personalised marketing, and lasting relationships, Instyle Property Group delivers a professional, approachable, and community focused experience for every client we serve.
How does Dream Admin Services help your business achieve its goals?
The team at Dream Admin Services are truly outstanding! They handle everything from payroll and bookkeeping to compliance for us, making running Instyle Property Group easier and more cost efficient, essential in small business. Their expertise, innovative ideas, and streamlined processes save us time, and energy, allowing us to focus on what we do best, real estate, while they take care of the rest.
