New Wave: Know Your Super

The rules around Payday Super have changed! Find out how these changes affect you at New Wave: Know Your Super.

Speaking to our new Superannuation resources, Emma Brophy (The Gild Group) will host an info session on Payday Super, focusing on the information you actually need to know as an artist, sole trader, music worker or music business owner. She’ll walk through the practical steps involved in getting set up, staying on top of your obligations and making sure super is being paid correctly and on time.

The session will also look at how artists and music workers can better understand their super, plan for it alongside irregular income, and make it part of a sustainable approach to working in the music industry.

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding on what Payday Super means and how to build superannuation into your working life without the overwhelm. The session will end with a Q&A segment where you can ask Emma any questions you’ve got.

This is an online session – register now.
