Additional support and assistance

For any number of reasons, there are times when our members need additional support and assistance. We’re here for you, and these are some of the ways we can help.

If you need early access to your super

If you’re experiencing severe financial difficulty, it may be possible to access some or all of your super early on the grounds of severe financial hardship or compassionate grounds. Obtaining early access to your super may provide you with some support at a challenging time. Just be aware that the government applies strict rules to early release payments, and you’ll need to meet certain requirements before you can access your super. 

Learn more about how to apply for early access to your super, the eligibility requirements and how the process works.
