You do the work. We handle everything else.
Over 1 million payments processed. 99% paid on time. SDP handles your payroll, tax, super and compliance, so the admin disappears, not the work.
On-time payments, every pay cycle. No delays, no excuses.
You do life; we do your contracting admin.
Contracting promises flexibility, better income, and a working life on your own terms. What nobody tells you is the admin that comes with it. Payroll. Tax. Super. Insurance. Compliance. Getting paid on time by clients who don’t always move quickly.
SDP takes all of it off your hands. You work. We handle everything behind it. Over 5,000 contractors across Australia have set up with us and stayed, because when the back-end runs perfectly, you barely notice it exists.
