Additional information

  • Even if you don't have insurance as part of your super account, you can access your super benefit in some limited circumstances.

    These include:

    • Incapacity - if you're unable to work or need to work fewer hours because of a medical condition.
    • Severe financial hardship - if you can't meet your living expenses and have been receiving Centrelink benefits for 26 weeks.
    • Compassionate grounds - to pay for unpaid expenses. These could include medical treatments, modifying your home or vehicle because of severe disability, funeral expenses or a loan repayment to prevent you from losing your home.
    • Terminal medical condition - if you have a terminal illness or injury.
    • Death – your super can be paid to your beneficiaries or estate.
