We have new information about superannuation (super) in the arts.
It’s common for artists and arts workers to work multiple jobs with different work arrangements. This means they may be entitled to super for some jobs, but not others.
Our expanded website information sets out who gets it, who needs to pay it, and how to get payments right.
For everyone:
- Who gets super — Employers and hirers must pay super for employees and some independent contractors, including certain performers, creatives and arts workers.
For organisations and businesses:
- Setting up to pay super — Steps for setting up your systems to pay super for the first time.
- If you’re already paying super — information about changing to Payday Super.
- Making super payments — Steps for calculating and making super contributions correctly each time.
For artists and arts workers:
- Getting super — Guidance about what you’re entitled to, and what to do if it's not being paid.
It can be complicated. But it’s important to get it right.
