Alternatives to the Small Business Superannuation Clearing House

Don’t wait until the last minute
Don’t wait until the last minute
If you currently pay your superannuation quarterly, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) recommends that the super payment for the January-March 2026 quarter (due 28 April 2026) be the last payment you make through the SBSCH. That way, you give yourself time to find and adjust to a new provider before you need to pay super for the April-June 2026 quarter.
Remember, the April –June quarter payment (due 28 July 2026) cannot be made using the SBSCH after 30 June 2026.
Choosing a new provider
There are a lot of different options out there to replace the SBSCH:Check your existing payroll software, as it may well already have super functions that you can use to pay your employees’ super guarantee contributions.
Check other payroll software or providers that meet all SuperStream requirements.
Find a commercial clearing house or super fund that provides payment options—that might include your default super fund.
Once you’ve picked your new provider, make sure to trial it out well before 1 July 2026. That way, you can get comfortable with the new platform while also having the chance to troubleshoot any potential errors before Payday Super comes into effect.
As a reminder, Payday Super requires that employers pay their employees’ super at the same time as their salary and wages, with funds to be received into employees’ nominated funds within seven business days of payday.
