I’m currently on a 417 WHV, but have applied for a permanent residency visa (189).


I have read that when moving from WHV to another visa, it’s wise to open a new super to avoid high tax rates. However, I know once I become a resident I will no longer be eligible for DASP so it becomes irrelevant. My question is, are there any other tax implications linked to the fact I was on a WHV (e.g. at withdrawal when I reach preservation age)? Or does my balance just get treated the same as any other resident’s super once I have PR?


Essentially, do I still need to open a new super when granted PR?
