The Point Force Press - July 2026

As we enter a new financial year, we highlight the changes that affect pay for employees, recap on how we got the team together for mid year celebrations and our continued commitment to meet OHS standards and industry regulations.

The Introduction of Payday Super & What it Means for Employees

As of 1 July 2026, new superannuation rules came into effect, changing how often employers pay super contributions. Instead of being paid quarterly, super is now paid much more frequently, helping your retirement savings grow sooner and making it easier to keep track of your entitlements.

For workers in construction and other industries where casual, labour hire, and project-based employment are common, this is a significant improvement. If you're moving between jobs or working across different sites throughout the year, more frequent super payments mean your contributions are reaching your super fund sooner rather than waiting until the end of a quarter. It also makes it easier to identify any missing or incorrect payments early.

At Point Force Group, we're committed to making sure our employees are paid correctly, on time, and in line with the latest legislative requirements. These changes are designed to provide greater transparency and help workers build their retirement savings more consistently throughout their careers. If you have any questions about how the new super payment rules affect you, our team is always here to help.

Point Force Group Xmas in July 2026

Last week, we brought the entire Point Force Group team together from across NSW, QLD, and VIC for our annual Christmas in July celebration. With everyone usually spread across multiple states, getting everyone together doesn't happen often, so when it does, we make the most of it.

We enjoyed a Christmas feast complete with all the festive favourites, plenty of cold beers, and a lineup of team-based party games that brought out everyone's competitive spirit. More importantly, it was a chance to catch up face-to-face, have a laugh, and spend quality time together outside of work

These moments are what make our culture so special. No matter where we're based, we're one team, and events like this are a great reminder of the relationships that drive everything we do. A huge thank you to every member of the Point Force Group team for making it such a great day. Here's to a big second half of the year!

Team Spotlight: Nick

This month we have Nick in the hot seat. We discuss how he entered the construction industry, the things he sees as vital for building strong client relationships and his passion for football both on and off the pitch.

How long have you been working in the construction and labour hire industry, and what initially drew you to this field?

I have been in Australia for nearly 3 years now and have loved every minute of it. I began my time here living the Aussie dream of pulling pints and labouring. Like many lads coming over to Australia from the UK I quickly picked up labouring work and have now been working in the labour hire industry for over 2 years, starting out in the field with other labour hire companies before finding my way to Point Force. I joined as a labourer in 2024 which led to my current role as a Client Account Manager.

What do you find most rewarding about your role?

What I find most rewarding about my role at Point Force Formwork is building strong relationships with our clients and being someone they can rely on. Every project comes with its own challenges, so I enjoy working closely with clients to understand their needs and help deliver practical solutions that keep their projects moving.

Seeing a project come together successfully and knowing I've played a part in that process makes the job incredibly rewarding. It's also great to work alongside a team that's committed to delivering quality outcomes and exceptional service every time.   It's also an exciting time to be part of the team, as our division is still relatively new.

Having the opportunity to help shape its growth, build lasting client partnerships, and contribute to its long-term success is something I'm really looking forward to. Being involved from the early stages and watching the division continue to grow makes the role even more rewarding.

What does a strong and successful client partnership look like to you?

To me, a strong and successful client partnership is built on trust, communication, and consistency. It's about understanding each client's goals, being responsive to their needs, and delivering on what we promise.

I believe the best partnerships are long-term relationships where clients know they can rely on us to provide quality solutions, support them through challenges, and work together to achieve successful project outcomes. When clients see us as a trusted partner rather than just a supplier, that's when you know you've built something valuable.

Why is now an exciting time to be working in the Victorian construction industry?

Melbourne's construction industry is constantly evolving, with major infrastructure, commercial, and residential projects shaping the city's future. It's an exciting time to be part of that growth, and being involved in a new division at Point Force Formwork makes the opportunity even more rewarding. I'm looking forward to building strong client relationships, delivering high-quality formwork solutions, and contributing to projects that will leave a lasting mark on the city's landscape for years to come.

Outside of work, what are a few things that people might not know about you?

I'm a passionate football fan and player. I play for Kings Domain as a goalkeeper and enjoy spending my Saturdays on the pitch, although recently I spend more time recovering from injuries! I also support Celtic, so you'll usually find me awake in the middle of the night to watch the games

Team Members of the Month - June 2026

Each month we take a moment to recognise the individuals who have gone above and beyond for their team, their clients, and the people they work alongside every day. We are proud to shine a spotlight on members of the Point Force team who have consistently demonstrated exactly what it means to represent this company at its best.

Point Force Labour Team Member of The Month:

Shoutout to Peter! One of our most reliable team members, consistently delivering high quality work and earning great feedback from clients. He’s become a key part of his long term site team, building strong relationships and proving himself as a true asset to his fellow workers. Great attitude, strong work ethic, and always committed to getting the job done right. He’s completing his Telehandler course this July and always looking for ways to upskill and improve, so that he can benefit the team.

Point Force Traffic Team Member of The Month:

Congratulations Cora! Cora has been a valued part of the Point Force Traffic team for a long time project in Prahran. Her punctuality and consistency make her an extremely reliable member of the team, and her experience in the role continues to keep projects running smoothly.

Point Force Traffic OHS & Industry Regulation Meeting

Earlier this month we took the opportunity to get our traffic control team together for a regular training evening.

These sessions are an important part of how we operate at Point Force Group. Keeping our team across the latest standards, industry changes, and best practices ensures they can carry out their roles with confidence, competence, and above all, safety. A knowledgeable team is a safe and effective one, and that's something we take seriously.

Traffic management is a high-risk role that requires our team to stay sharp. Roads change, regulations evolve, and the environments our team work in can be unpredictable. Regular training ensures our people are always prepared for what the job demands, no matter what site they're on or what conditions they're working in.

Beyond the content itself, these evenings are also a valuable opportunity for our operations team to connect with field staff face to face. It's a chance to check in, answer questions, address any concerns, and reinforce that our people are supported both on and off site.

We're proud of the standard our traffic control team holds themselves to, and evenings like this are a big part of why.
