Australia’s key legislative updates

If you do business in Australia here’s a snapshot of what you need to know as an employer. These changes take effect from 1 July 2022:

· Super guarantee will rise from 10% to 10.5%.

· The $450 monthly income threshold will no longer apply - previously, employers didn’t have to pay employees earning under $450 per month the super guarantee.
