Pay Day Super
2026-03-11 11:30 - 12:30
Big changes are coming to the way super is paid

From 1 July 2026, employers will be required to pay super to their employees at the same time as their salary and wages under the new Payday Super legislation.

These reforms aim to reduce unpaid or underpaid super by bringing Superannuation Guarantee payments into line with standard payroll cycles.

To stay compliant, super contributions and the details needed to allocate them must reach your employees’ super funds within 7 business days of payday.

To help you prepare, Hostplus invites you to a complimentary webinar where their experts will break down the changes, what they could mean for your business, and the practical steps you can take now.

Join Hostplus on Wednesday 11 March @ 11:30am.

Grants can be a valuable source of income for clubs, but only when they’re pursued strategically, prepared for properly and aligned to what your club is actually trying to achieve. This module gives Committee members and club Managers a practical grounding in grant funding. We cover the different types and sources of grants available to SA clubs, how to assess whether a grant or a funder is the right fit for your organisation, and what funders are really looking for when they assess an application. We look at the documentation clubs need to have already prepared, what it means to be ‘shovel ready’, and how to make the most of the resources available to you. We also examine alternate revenue streams, because grants aren’t the only answer, and a club that relies too heavily on grants is missing other opportunities and is taking on unnecessary risk. By the end of this session, you’ll have a clearer picture of where grants fit in your club’s financial strategy, what it takes to put forward a competitive application, and what a successful grant outcome actually looks like beyond the funding announcement.
