From 1 July 2026, super moves to payday. No more quarterly cycles just SG contributions paid alongside wages. For busy practices, that means tighter payroll processes and closer cash-flow monitoring.

Margins are tighter, costs are up, and smaller medical and dental clinics are feeling the squeeze more than larger, multi-room practices. I sat down with finance specialist Ali Joyce from Credabl to unpack what’s really happening across GP and dental practices in the West.
