Can I claim my superannuation back?

Published: Feb 19, 2021

Yes, once you’ve permanently left Australia and your visa has expired, you can apply for a Departing Australia Superannuation Payment (DASP) through the ATO. For most temporary visa holders, including former student visa holders, DASP is taxed at 35%, so you’d generally receive around 65% of your taxable super balance. 

Working Holiday Maker visa holders (subclasses 417 and 462) face a higher 65% tax rate on this payment. You’ll need your tax file number, visa details and super fund information to apply. You can apply to receive you superannuation back online here.
