Removing the $450 threshold for super contributions
The $450 monthly earnings threshold for superannuation contributions will also be removed on 1 July 2022. Under the change, employers will be required to pay the superannuation guarantee on the wages of employees’ earning less than $450 per month.

For employees under the age of 18, unless they are covered by a workplace agreement that states otherwise, you will need to pay superannuation if they work more than 30 hours in a week.
