Aurion is an Australian-built enterprise payroll and HR platform offering both SaaS software and outsourced payroll services — including a Managed Payroll-as-a-Service (MPaaS) model for organisations that want to fully outsource payroll operations. The platform is designed for mid-to-large organisations with complex payroll requirements: multi-award environments, enterprise bargaining agreements (EBAs), government-specific reporting obligations, and high-volume, position-driven payroll structures. It is ISO 9001 and ISO 27001 certified, with STP Phase 2 compliance built in via a natively integrated ATO gateway.

■ Key Features

• Complex payroll engine: Supports date and position-driven payroll to handle role changes, promotions, and terminations accurately across pay periods — designed for organisations where workforce structures are complex and payroll errors carry significant compliance risk.

• STP Phase 2 & superannuation: Natively integrated ATO gateway for STP Phase 2 reporting, SuperStream-compliant super payments, and Payday Super readiness for the 1 July 2026 legislative change.

• Outsourced payroll services: In addition to software, Aurion offers partial outsourcing (managed services) and fully outsourced MPaaS options — where Aurion's payroll specialists manage end-to-end payroll processing on behalf of the organisation. This is particularly suited to organisations with limited in-house payroll expertise or those seeking to reduce payroll operational risk.

• Time & attendance integration: Automated time and attendance module connects directly to the payroll engine, reducing manual data transfer and ensuring hours, allowances, and overtime flow accurately from timesheets to pay runs.

• HR add-ons & integrations: A suite of optional HR modules — including performance management, recruitment, and learning — can be added to the payroll core, with open API connectivity to third-party HR, time, and ERP platforms.

■ Who It's Best Suited For

• Mid-to-large Australian organisations (typically 200+ employees) in government, education, healthcare, and regulated industries with complex payroll structures, EBA obligations, or high compliance exposure

• Finance and HR leaders seeking a locally-built, ISO-certified payroll platform with the option to partially or fully outsource payroll operations rather than maintaining an in-house payroll function

• Organisations transitioning from legacy on-premise payroll systems that need a cloud-based platform with deep ANZ compliance and a proven track record in complex enterprise environments
