SuperCare and compassionate release of super
Compassionate release of super may be a payment option in limited circumstances for eligible dental treatment. Strict medical and financial requirements apply. The Australian Taxation Office assesses applications individually; approval is not guaranteed.
Creative Smiles provides dental assessments and treatment plans at our Armadale clinic for patients across Melbourne. Treatment suitability is assessed separately from how it is paid for.
What is SuperCare?
SuperCare is a third-party service that assists with applications for compassionate release of super. It does not decide ATO eligibility or guarantee that funds will be released. Service fees may apply. You can apply directly to the ATO without using SuperCare.
Eligibility, costs and retirement impacts
The ATO considers both the medical basis for treatment and whether you can pay by other means. Supporting reports and cost information are required. A treatment name, pain or a super balance alone does not establish eligibility. Treatment solely for cosmetic purposes does not qualify.
Using super reduces retirement savings and may affect future investment earnings. Tax, application-service fees and other consequences may apply. Consider independent financial advice before deciding whether to apply.
How it works?
Arrange a dental assessment to discuss your clinical needs, treatment alternatives, risks and itemised fees. If you are considering compassionate release of super, read the ATO requirements before deciding whether to apply directly or seek application assistance.
If you choose SuperCare, ask about its service, fees and privacy terms before authorising a referral. An application does not guarantee approval, and you do not have to proceed with treatment because you have enquired about payment.
