Your Association

The Association for Payroll Specialists (TAPS), established in 1990 is Australia's original Association representing the payroll industry.

As the voice of the payroll community we represent over 6,500 payroll professionals and businesses including every sector of the economy, from small and medium sized enterprises to major corporations and government departments.

Payroll officers pay the 9.8 million working Australians in excess of $426 billion in wages every year and a payroll officer's duties now encompass: Accounting, Human Resources, Industrial Relations, Payroll Legislation and IT.

We provide a number of specialised benefits necessary to acknowledge and assist payroll people and keep them up to date with Australia's unique payroll environment.

Membership

Payroll has never been more complex. Payroll professionals and their employers must deal with ever-changing legislation and regulations. They must apply the correct withholdings, issue pays and report back to the government according to a regulated schedule. They must also consider the needs of employees for a timely and accurate payroll.

TAPS is the only association dedicated exclusively to meeting the needs and interests of payroll profesionals. Our education programs and services help members enhance and adapt payroll operations, meet new legislative requirements, address changing workplace needs and take advantage of emerging technologies.

Membership with TAPS is a cost-effective investment in your professional career and your organisation's future. More than 6,500 payroll professionals rely on TAPS and its payroll programs and services. Can you afford not to?
