We offer a comprehensive service that includes:

• Assessing your eligibility
• Facilitating access to medical specialists in psychiatry and general practice
• Preparing and submitting necessary forms to the ATO
• Processing your application quickly

Lodgement to the Superannuation fund and support through this process

Yes, you will need medical reports from both a General Practitioner and a Psychiatrist. The ATO requires certification that you are suffering from an “acute or chronic mental illness”. We can book you in for an appointment with our Psychiatrist and GP within 24 hours of commencing your claims process.

We manage the entire process efficiently to ensure it’s completed as quickly as possible. From your initial consultation with us, through to fund release into a nominated bank account, the entire process usually takes between 8 and 14 business days. These times are subject to change depending on the backlog with the ATO.

There is no set limit. The amount approved will depend on the cost of your necessary treatment and the balance available in your Superannuation fund.

Our team can help determine if your situation qualifies for early super release. You can contact them directly to discuss your needs and assess your eligibility.
