Wishing Bec and the NSW Performance Team the greatest of luck and safe travels as they complete their gymnastics tour around Germany. Bec, the photos look great, but I'm sure that you are missing the Summit team too much already. As the Germans say, viel Glück!

SuperStream

Re: SuperStream – Changes to reporting regulations and payment for superannuation contributions The SuperStream standard is part of the Australian government's Super Reform package. It will provide a consistent, reliable electronic method of transacting linked data and payments for superannuation. The goal is to improve the efficiency of the superannuation system, to improve the timeliness of processing of rollovers and contributions, and reduce the number of lost accounts and unclaimed monies. The standard requires employers to: - Send all data electronically ( for example employee’s details and the amount of super being paid) in a standard format - Make super contribution payments electronically. Cheque payment will no longer be accepted. - Link data and money with a unique payment reference number - Ensure data and payments are sent on the same day - Respond to fund requests for complete information within 10 business days Large and medium employers (with 20 or more employees) will need to start using the SuperStream standard for sending contributions to funds from 1 July 2014 and will have until 30 June 2015 to complete their implementation. A small business, with less than 20 employees, will begin to use the SuperStream standard for contributions from 1 July 2015. Due to the complexities associated with these changes, it is strongly suggested that you utilise the services of a superannuation clearinghouse or the payroll software to process your superannuation payments to ensure your compliance with SuperStream. If you have less than 20 employees you can utilise the Small Business Superannuation Clearinghouse, it is a free service administered by the Australian Taxation Office.

Building Better Humans Trivia fundraiser

We are very happy to be supporting our local Anytime Fitness clubs in their BUILDING BETTER HUMANS campaign. On Friday 17th June from 7pm, at Club Macquarie Argenton, a trivia night is being held at $15pp on tables of 10. There will be tons of prizes, raffles and games to enjoy! The goal is to raise $75,000 within our local community, to smash the stigma of mental health and help educate and empower 1500 kids within the Newcastle Hunter region. The money raised goes straight back into the community, educating and empowering the young people to start a positive conversation about mental health and encouraging them to reach out for support, when they need it. To RSVP a table, or two, contact buildingbetterhumans2016@gmail.com. We look forward to seeing you there!
