A significant change to superannuation is underway, aiming to provide faster payments and fewer missed contributions, ultimately leading to more money in retirement.
The introduction of the 'Payday Super' rules is expected to make a substantial difference to the financial security of millions of workers, particularly those nearing or already in retirement.
Unpaid super totalled almost $5.2 billion in 2024/25
