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.
Rates can change, so it’s worth confirming the current DASP tax rate on the ATO’s DASP page before relying on this figure.
