Get ready for end of financial year
The end of the financial year is approaching
To make sure everything is processed in time, please submit your contributions before the cut-off dates below. This will help ensure they’re included for this financial year.
Deadlines for member transactions
Making an extra super contribution
To be counted for this financial year, contributions must be received by Media Super by 30 June. To allow for processing time, we recommend submitting your contribution by 4pm (AEST) Thursday 25 June 2026.
This is the latest recommended submission time to help ensure your contribution is received and processed before 30 June. We recommend BPAY® or Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), as these are generally the fastest payment options.
To pay by BPAY® or EFT
Log in to your account to find your personal BPAY® biller code and reference number, or your EFT details. You can also find these details on your annual statement.
To pay by cheque
You can visit a front counter to contribute in person by cheque. Please make sure your cheque payment is submitted by Tuesday 23 June 2026.
Contributions received after this date may still be processed, but we can’t guarantee they’ll be counted for this financial year. This may affect any tax benefits or government incentives you may be eligible for.
Things to consider before EOFY
How to make a contribution

To help ensure your contribution is processed in time, we recommend using BPAY® or EFT before 4pm (AEST), Thursday 25 June 2026.
