Digital Service Providers Australia New Zealand (DSPANZ)

📢 Payday Super Implementation Concerns 📢 It’s been 444 days since the announcement of Payday Super. Despite ongoing consultation, no concrete information is available about how DSPs can deliver Payday Super in payroll and superannuation software. With the proposed commencement date of 1 July 2026 fast approaching, the timeframe for designing and implementing Payday Super is currently unrealistic. Our proposals for moving forward with Payday Super: 📍 Maintain the 1 July 2026 date but reduce the scope of what can be reasonably delivered 📍 Push the commencement date to at least 1 July 2028 and consult with industry more effectively A roadmap, realistic timeline and transparent consultation with industry are essential for moving forward with Payday Super.
