The Pushworth Group – Superannuation Policy for Sole Traders

1. CURRENT LEGAL POSITION

• There has been no change to superannuation legislation.
• Pushworth operates as a licensed agent and marketplace, not an employer.
• Artists engaged through Pushworth operate as independent suppliers under their own ABN and business structure.
• Pushworth does not hold employer obligations for artist superannuation.

2. ENGAGEMENT MODEL

All engagements facilitated by Pushworth are structured as:

• independent contractor arrangements
• result-based services (delivery of a show)
• artists retaining full control over:
  • performance
  • delivery
  • creative direction

Pushworth facilitates the engagement only.

3. COMPLIANCE POSITION

Pushworth operates in alignment with:

• current superannuation legislation
• contractor frameworks under workplace law
• independent business treatment under tax law
• State-based licensing requirements

There is no blanket requirement for venues to pay superannuation for performers.

4. POSITION GOING FORWARD

Pushworth will continue to operate under current law.

If regulatory guidance changes:

• this policy will be updated
• compliance requirements will be implemented

Where superannuation obligations are confirmed:

• Pushworth’s Booking Portal will administer payments on behalf of venues
• this will be integrated into the existing booking process
• implementation will be structured, efficient, and compliant

FINAL STATEMENT

Pushworth operates with clarity and consistency under current law.

If obligations change, they will be implemented.
If superannuation is required, our system will manage it.
