The application relates to funeral expenses for my brother, and I am currently trying to finalise funeral arrangements. Due to the financial urgency of these expenses, I would greatly appreciate any assistance in expediting the assessment and release of the funds if possible.

Hi @KiriKV2026,


If you’ve already submitted an application for early release of super on compassionate grounds, there isn’t a formal way to fast-track it – but online applications are usually processed faster than paper ones (around 14 days).


You can check the status of your application through myGov (linked to ATO Online Services).


If it’s been more than 14 days or you think some info may be missing, phone our super team to talk about it further.


I hope everything is sorted quickly for you and wishing you all the best during this difficult time.
