Welcome to the latest MyGigsters Spotlight — your practical guide to what's changing, what's shipping, and what it means for your platform.
Whether you're managing payouts, navigating compliance, or trying to retain your best workers — this edition has something directly relevant to where you are right now.
Most platforms are flying blind on their financial infrastructure.
You know something's not quite right — payouts feel slow, compliance feels patchy, workers are churning — but you don't have a clear picture of how bad it is or where to focus first.
The Platform Financial Maturity Assessment gives you that picture. Free. In 3 minutes.
In just 3 minutes, you'll discover:
Why it matters
The platforms pulling ahead right now aren't doing everything — they're doing the right things first. Without a benchmark, you're guessing at priorities. With one, you have a roadmap.
Every week you delay fixing the wrong things is a week your competitors are fixing the right ones.
Used by 60+ platforms globally to identify and close their most costly gaps.

Most marketplace operators treat contractor classification as a legal problem.
They schedule an annual review, let legal handle it, and move on. The issue? By the time legal flags something, you've already made thousands of incorrect classifications — and every new worker you onboard makes it worse.
The platforms that don't face compliance nightmares didn't get lucky. They made classification an operations problem — built into onboarding, payment triggers, and worker agreements from day one.
Here's the difference in practice:
❌ Legal approach — "We'll get our lawyers to review this once a year."
✅ Operations approach — "Classification logic lives in our onboarding flow, our payment triggers, and our contracts. It's always current."
Three things worth auditing on your platform this quarter:
Why it matters
The ATO and Fair Work are not slowing down. Misclassification penalties scale hard with volume — and the platforms that operationalise compliance early spend a fraction of what remediation costs later.
Get ahead of it now, before scale makes it expensive.

If your team currently reconciles payments across multiple tabs, currencies, and manual exports — this update is for you. We've rebuilt the payments dashboard to give operators a clean, complete view of their financial position, without the usual friction.
✔️ See your full financial picture in one place — no more toggling between systems to get a straight answer
✔️ Reconcile faster with a live running balance that updates in real time
✔️ Action payments directly from the dashboard without leaving the screen
Time spent chasing numbers is time not spent on your platform. The new dashboard gives your finance and ops teams back hours every week — and gives you the confidence to make faster, better-informed decisions about your money. Whether you're running one currency or five, the view is always clean and always current.

From 1 July 2026, the rules change. Super must be paid at the same time as wages, with contributions landing in funds within 7 business days. The ATO and Fair Work have been clear: enforcement starts from day one.
If your platform pays Australian workers, this isn't something you can defer. The question isn't whether to act — it's whether you'll be ready in time.
We've built the infrastructure to make payday super compliance automatic, accurate, and fully embedded inside your existing payment flow. No manual super runs. No separate systems. No scrambling in June.
Already live with HeyLucy — and available for your platform now.
✔️ Meet payday super obligations from day one — automatically, with no manual intervention
✔️ Eliminate the risk of late-payment penalties and manual processing errors at scale
✔️ Embed the complete super experience inside your own product in approximately 30 minutes
✔️ ATO stapling compliance is handled in the background — no employer action required
✔️ Workers see their super land with every payout — the kind of consistency that builds real loyalty to your platform
Payday super is coming whether platforms are ready or not. The ones that move early won't just avoid penalties — they'll be the platforms that Australian workers actively choose, because their super actually lands. With the Super Widget, the experience lives inside your product, under your brand. The hard parts — stapling, SuperStream, fund matching — are invisible to your team and your workers. It just works. That's the standard workers will expect from July. The question is whether your platform meets it.
Coming next: Real-time TFN validation with ATO services and enhanced payslip transparency.

Being recognised at FinTech Australia's Finnies — the most prestigious fintech awards in the country — is a milestone we're genuinely proud of. Not because of the recognition itself, but because of what it reflects: a team that has kept building, kept shipping, and kept putting independent workers at the centre of everything we do.
This is our first-ever Finnies recognition. It won't be our last.

We reached the semi-finals of the Australian Technologies Competition in the Fintech & Regtech category — one of the country's most recognised programs for high-growth technology companies. Getting to this stage gave us the opportunity to put our vision for compliance-first financial infrastructure for the gig economy in front of a national audience.
We've partnered with SuperChoice to bring embedded superannuation payments to Australian gig platforms — built directly into the payment flow, deployable within weeks.
