    Need to Know: Payday Super in Practice

    Isn't it fun keeping up with legislation changes?! In this "Need to Know" style episode, we go through the intricacies of Payday Super - something that commenced 1 July 2026 and affects every business that has any type of payroll. Spoiler, Payday Super means...drum roll!...Pay your super each pay period by the payroll payment due date... Seems simple? Or not? Well, I will go into the specifics and tips around that new concept! If you have questions about Payday Super- that's normal! I hope I answer them, but since there are so many types of businesses out there, I've kept the information here general, with a lot of points that will cover all of you. So, here's a great starting point, and for anything specific about your business or industry, reach out to the FairWork Ombudsman or your Accountant ;-)

    Small Business Supporting Small Business: Awards Edition!

    Make a big impact with little effort, make the most of every opportunity, and make sure you are "awarded" for your hard work! This past weekend at the Small Business Champion Awards, I was reminded how important it is to connect with others. Sitting at table 16, I met some incredible finalists. In the room with me were many from my home, the Illawarra region. We could have sat there, eaten our food, clapped politely, and left. Or ...we could be a small business supporting small business, with a few bold moves, effortless and entertaining!
