The Australian superannuation system is comprehensive, compulsory, complex and subject to frequent changes. Extensive regulation governs employers, employer contributions and the operation of superannuation funds through legislation, industrial awards and agreements.
Superannuation requirements have been subject to various reviews and changes across the past decade including most recently, through the Payday Superannuation amendments, which largely take effect from 1 July 2026.
