To apply for access to your super for dental care, here’s what you need to do:

  • Determine Eligibility:
    Review if you meet the specified conditions for accessing super on compassionate grounds. The conditions usually involve significant financial hardship or urgent medical needs, including dental care. For detailed criteria, you can refer to the Compassionate Grounds Fact Sheet.
  • Start the Application Process:
    If you qualify, Access My Super can guide you through the application process. They help you gather the necessary documents and submit your application to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). The ATO will then assess your application and notify you of their decision.
  • Apply to Your Super Fund:
    Once the ATO approves the early release of your super, you must contact your super fund to complete the process. You’ll need to provide the ATO approval letter, the super fund’s application form, and possibly additional identification documents. Your super fund will then release the necessary funds for your dental treatment.

For more detailed information, you can visit the Access My Super Guide.

The standard processing time to receive your Letter of Approval after lodging your application with the ATO is 14 to 21 business days. Throughout the process, you’ll receive regular updates to keep you informed about the status of your application.
No, there are no restrictions on the amount you can withdraw from your super for dental care. You can access the funds necessary to cover your treatment, whether the amount is small or large, based on your specific needs.

Accessing your super for dental care may affect your retirement savings in the following ways:

  • Reduced Retirement Savings:
    Withdrawing money from your super early means you will have a smaller amount available when you retire. This can significantly reduce your financial security in retirement, as your remaining super balance will have less time to grow.
  • Tax Implications:
    Depending on your age and the way you access your super, there could be tax consequences. For example, lump sum withdrawals may be taxed differently than regular income streams. This may lead to higher tax liabilities if not managed properly.
  • Impact on Government Benefits:
    Your super balance is considered when assessing eligibility for government benefits, such as the Age Pension. A lower super balance could affect your entitlement to these benefits.

Consider these factors carefully and balance your immediate dental needs with your long-term retirement goals before withdrawing funds.
