Hello.
Im needing to get surgery and public health wait list is years long. It will cost upwards of $30K. I only have around $25K in super. Can i still access all my super to help fund my surgery?
Thank you.
Hi @MissyJai1991,
Compassionate release of super to access medical treatment is assessed case-by-case for each person.
Your first stop would be to look at expenses that are eligible for release. There's information here as well on what types of evidence you'd need to provide if you apply.
Thank you for your response.
Ive looked everywhere before posting this question and i could not find any information regarding what im asking. I skimmed over the link that you have provided and can not find anything thats relevant to my question.
It's possible to get amounts released to help pay. It depends if your medical treatment is an eligible expense and you're able to supply all the evidence we need. You'll need to read through this info to work it out.
Our advice is to apply and we can review your application then make a decision.
