    The "Silent Cashflow Killer" hitting Health Practices in July 2026.

    The Change – Payday Super

    July 1, 2026 isn't just a new financial year -- it's the day the "Cashflow Float" dies.
    The Change: Payday Super becomes mandatory. You must pay super simultaneously with payroll.

    The Problem

    The Problem: Most clinic owners treat their monthly/quarterly Super bill like an interest-free loan from the ATO.
    You hold that cash for 3 months to help with working capital.

    The Risk

    🛑 That ends July 1, 2026.
    Your cashflow liquidity will drop by ~12% overnight.
    If you have sloppy HR processes—like fixing timesheets after the fact or adjusting for sick leave late—the admin burden of rectifying super payments will be a nightmare.

    The Fix

    The Fix: You have 6 months to audit your cashflow.
    If you rely on the "Super Float" to pay your bills, you are technically insolvent.
