This article explains how HeroClear works across multiple business entities, including how to manage different clearing houses per entity and what happens when you enable or disable HeroClear.
This article explains how to:
Multi-entity setup
Yes. As of April 2026, businesses can use HeroClear on the default entity and an alternative clearing method on additional entities without issue. The limitation is one clearing option per entity at a time.
Employers should only nominate one default fund unless you are under an award specifying otherwise. If you have more than 10 employees and have nominated multiple default employer funds, you should review and correct this.
Not currently. WPN-only employers are not supported in this HeroClear release. The workaround is to keep those entities on an alternative clearing house, or export a SAFF file from EH Payroll and lodge via an external clearing house. ABN-eligible entities can use HeroClear as normal.
Managing clearing house settings
When HeroClear is enabled for an entity, any previously active clearing house (e.g. Beam) is automatically disabled for that entity. If HeroClear is later disabled, the previous clearing house re-enables. Only one clearing option can be active per entity at a time.
No. Existing batches already in Submitted or Created status are unaffected. Enabling HeroClear only prevents new batches from being created via the previous clearing house for that entity.
Yes. You can export a SAFF file from EH Payroll to use with any external clearing house. The external process must still meet your compliance obligations and may incur additional fees.
