What you need to do
Use this checklist to transition out of the SBSCH before it closes.
You should allow sufficient time to transition to an alternative provider and download your super records.
If you pay super quarterly, we recommend your super payment for the January-March quarter (due 28 April 2026) be the last payment you make through the SBSCH. After this payment, download your records and use an alternative option.
The April–June quarter payment (due 28 July 2026) cannot be made using the SBSCH after 30 June 2026.
You don’t have to wait until 1 July to get ready– you can start now.
February to March 2026: Get ready
Choose an alternative provider to the SBSCH
- Check your existing payroll software - it may already have super payment functions.
- Check other payroll software or providers. See the SuperStream Product RegisterOpens in a new window.
- Find a commercial clearing house or super fund that provides payment options. This might include your default super fund.
Get advice if you need it. Talk with your tax professional if you’re unsure about the best timing for your business to transition, or how you’ll pay super going forward.
April 2026: Make your final SBSCH payment
Plan to use the SBSCH for the last time for the January–March quarter super payments, which is due on 28 April.
