Running an Australian small business means living inside a rolling year of obligations — BAS lodgements, superannuation guarantee payments, STP finalisation, TPAR, state payroll-tax reconciliation, the annual Award wage review and a host of sector-specific renewals. The problem isn't usually understanding each one in isolation; it's that they're scattered across the ATO, Fair Work, your state revenue office and various regulators, with dates that shift by state, industry and headcount. A single missed deadline can mean interest, penalties or a scramble. The Compliance Calendar Generator pulls those obligations into one place, mapped to the next 12 months for a business like yours.
You tell the tool three things — your state or territory, your primary industry, and your employee-size band — and it assembles a month-by-month calendar of the key compliance dates that apply to a business matching that profile. It starts from the national ATO and Fair Work obligations (quarterly super and BAS, STP finalisation, TPAR, the tax-return cycle, and the annual Award minimum-wage update that takes effect from the first full pay period on or after 1 July), then layers on your state's payroll-tax annual reconciliation via the relevant revenue office, plus obligations triggered by your sector (for example contractor reporting, professional-registration reviews, sector audit or accreditation cycles) and by your size (such as casual-conversion and, for larger employers, right-to-disconnect reviews). Each date carries a category label, and the calendar flags that dates falling on a weekend or public holiday generally move to the next business day. It presents current-cycle dates as an indicative guide and points you to the official source for anything you should confirm — it doesn't quote rates, thresholds or dollar figures, because those change; it shows you what's due and when, and where to verify.

It maps the standard obligations and their usual dates for a business matching your state, industry and size, which is enough to plan the year and never be caught off guard. It deliberately treats these as an indicative guide rather than personal advice: dates that land on a weekend or public holiday generally roll to the next business day, and your specific arrangements — such as whether a tax agent lodges on your behalf or whether you're registered for a particular obligation — can shift a date. The tool links you to your state revenue office and points you to your tax agent or the ATO to confirm the precise date for your year.
These tools work together to give you a clearer picture of your business.
Use these results to make better decisions. If you'd like a second pair of eyes on them, an advisor can walk through what they mean for the business.
