Accessing Super

For IVF

Unlock Your Super – Turn Your Parenthood Dreams into Reality with IVF Support.

Accessing Super for IVF can be extremely difficult. Release My Super is here to help.

Those of you having trouble Accessing Super for IVF and accessing their superannuation savings for IVF will need to complete an application under the ‘mental health’ provisions of the compassionate release of superannuation program. RMS can usually get clients booked in to see a psychiatrist within 24 to 48 hours. The test for eligibility is that you are suffering from an “acute or chronic mental illness” and this requirement means that you will need a report from a psychiatrist and your GP.

If you require an assessment with a psychiatrist, call our team on 1300 090 261 for an appointment, usually within 24 hours.

Release My Super specialises in the release of super for IVF treatment

We have consultant psychiatrists to assist in the process and appointments can usually be completed within 24 hours. Let us help you understand the nature of an application to pay for IVF treatment from your superannuation savings.

You will require medical reports from a General Practitioner and Psychiatrist.

Reference ATO Website  | Mental Health

The ATO website has been amended to require that “the registered medical specialist must be specialised in the area in which they are giving their opinion.” If you apply for treatment of an acute or chronic mental illness,  applications will require a medical report from a psychiatrist. Advice (2/8/21 from ATO), from 30/9/2021 all applications submitted under mental health MUST have a psychiatric report.

Fees on an IVF application
  • I want to lodge my own IVF application to the ATO.
  • I want assistance to lodge my IVF application to the ATO.

At RMS we like to make it as easy as possible for clients and respect some applicants are comfortable doing the lodgement and only require a psychiatric assessment for their IVF application.

Other clients feel they need more support and want RMS to drive their application and submit the paperwork.

  • $770 – psychiatric assessment and report for IVF.

$495 – We take care of ensuring all the paperwork is in accordance with ATO requirements for an IVF application.  We hold your hand and don’t let go until the money hits your account.  This includes ironing out any problems that occur with the ATO and your super fund.

RMS normally has clients booked in to see a psychiatrist within 24 to 48 hours.

NO MEDICARE REBATES AVAILABLE

The ATO will only release your superannuation on compassionate grounds if you:

  • meet the eligibility requirements of the compassionate ground you’re applying for
  • have not paid for the expense – they can only approve the compassionate release of superannuation to help you with unpaid expenses. If you have already paid the expense using a loan, a credit card, or money borrowed from family or friends, you do not meet the eligibility requirements.
  • can’t afford to pay the expenses without accessing your super e.g. by obtaining a loan or using your savings
  • are a citizen or permanent resident of Australia or New Zealand
  • provide all required supporting evidence and invoices/quotes.

RMS can usually get clients booked in to see a psychiatrist within 24 to 48 hours.
