Leaving Australia

If you are leaving Australia for good, you may be able to access your super and take it as a lump sum. You may be eligible to receive a departing Australia superannuation payment if:

  • you were a temporary resident,

  • you entered Australia on a temporary visa
  • you have departed Australia (you need to have departed Australia before you can claim this payment)
  • your visa has ceased to be in effect (has expired or been cancelled), and
  • HIP has not paid your super money to the ATO as unclaimed super

 

For full details on how you can claim this payment, visit the Guide to Superannuation for Individuals (Temporary Residents) section on the Australian Taxation Office website, or click here www.ato.gov.au

Important: The above information is not financial advice. HIP makes the best effort to ensure this information is accurate however we ask that you confirm your personal situation with your tax agent or the tax office before making any decisions.
