Early Access to Superannuation for Medical Treatment: What You Need to Know
Understanding whether to access your superannuation early for medical treatment is an important decision to weigh up. The Australian government allows this in specific circumstances, but it’s a decision that requires careful consideration.
Key points to remember:
• Early access is only permitted for certain medical conditions
• There’s a strict application process through the Australian Taxation Office
• It may impact your retirement savings in the long term
The Australian Taxation Office advise that people should only consider applying for Compassionate Release of Super (CRS) as a last resort, where all other options of pay for eligible expenses are exhausted and they have no other means to pay for the expenses.
Before making a decision, consult with your doctor, financial advisor, and superannuation fund. It’s important to explore all available options and understand the long-term implications of accessing your super early.
We have written a guide on the early withdrawal of superannuation funds, which can be found at the link ➡️ https://tinyurl.com/nhda7r5j
Disclaimer: The purpose of this article is purely informative. Every individual’s condition and financial situation is unique, and you should carefully consider and seek professional advice before deciding to fund your surgery by using your Superannuation. This article has no intent to replace financial advice and we are not in any way encouraging you to use your Super for funding surgeries for cosmetic reasons.

Body contouring recovery is real, it's significant, and you need to know what you're signing up for.
As a board certified cosmetic plastic surgeon with the Australian and New Zealand Board of Cosmetic Plastic Surgery, I’ve had many, many conversations with my patients where we discuss what options may be possible so that they regain the functionality that matches their lifestyle.
