Yes, you can access your super for your dental treatment, and we can help you or any of your dependants to access your super to help cover the cost of your dental treatment.
Good oral health is essential to everyday life and everyone’s overall health and self-esteem. Dental care is not just about your oral health but rather it can also prevent diseases including heart disease, diabetes, dementia and more. However, despite its importance, many Australians are delaying the visit to their dentist due to cost as the cost of daily expenses rises.
It is possible to use superannuation funds to pay for medical and dental treatments. This option fits into an arrangement with the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) and is called ‘Compassionate Release of Superannuation’. This program can be a solution for people who would otherwise not be able to afford necessary medical or dental expenses and who don’t qualify for treatment in the public health system.
Applying for early release of superannuation funds may be the only way you may be able to afford necessary dental work.
Dental treatments covered by the scheme need to be considered necessary:
- To alleviate acute or chronic pain.
- To alleviate an acute or chronic mental illness.
- For a life-threatening illness or injury
