  • Payday super: policy design released – A newly released fact sheet sets out some key elements of the government’s “payday super” policy.
  • “Super saver” scheme now more flexible for first home buyers – Changes taking effect from 15 September 2024 will improve the process of accessing certain voluntary super contributions to assist with purchasing or constructing a first home.
