Making Dental Treatments Affordable Through Early Super Access

SuperCare is a service that helps people access their superannuation early to fund essential dental treatments. It simplifies the process of applying for early release, making it easier for patients to afford the care they need without financial stress.

At Redlands Gentle Dental Care, we accept SuperCare as a convenient payment option for various dental treatments. This allows patients to focus on improving their oral health while managing costs more effectively through their superannuation funds.

SuperCare Eligibility Information

SuperCare assists individuals and their families in times of medical need by facilitating the application process for the Compassionate Release of Superannuation (CRS). This allows you to access your superannuation and eliminate the stress associated with paying for expensive, yet essential, dental treatments.

Accessing early superannuation release through SuperCare depends on meeting specific eligibility criteria set by the relevant guidelines. These criteria help confirm that funds are used appropriately for approved treatments. Below is a list of the eligibility requirements you should know:

  • You must be an Australian citizen with a superannuation account.
  • The treatment must be deemed necessary for your health by your dentist or healthcare provider.
  • A medical report or detailed letter outlining the required treatment must be submitted.
  • Proof of identity, such as a passport or driver’s licence, and proof of residency are needed.
  • Your superannuation fund must allow early access to be used for dental procedures, following their specific policies and government regulations.

Access Dental Care Easily with SuperCare

Follow These Simple Steps to Use SuperCare for Hassle-Free Dental Treatment Payments

Accessing dental care with SuperCare is simple and helps make treatments more affordable by using your superannuation. The process is straightforward and designed to reduce stress for patients. SuperCare supports you throughout, so you don’t have to do it alone.
Step 1

Schedule Initial Consultation

Start by scheduling an initial consultation with our team to discuss your dental needs, treatment options, and the actual treatment cost. During this appointment, the dentist will determine if your procedure qualifies for SuperCare funding, providing the necessary details to begin the application process.
Step 2

Submit Required Documents

Gather and submit the necessary documents to support your SuperCare application, including identification, proof of residency, and a treatment quote. The dental clinic will guide you through this process so that all required paperwork is complete for a smooth application submission.
Step 3

Await Application Approval

After submitting your documents, the application will be reviewed for approval, which usually takes four to six weeks. SuperCare assesses your eligibility and confirms the release of funds for your dental treatment. You will be notified once the approval process is completed.
Step 4

Access Approved Funds

Once your application is approved, the funds will be released from your superannuation account to cover your dental treatment. The clinic will coordinate with you to finalise payment, allowing you to proceed with the necessary care without financial stress or delays.

SuperCare Cover Details

SuperCare can help cover any dental treatments, including implants, braces, and general dental work, depending on your dentist’s recommendation. There’s no set limit on how much superannuation you can access, as it depends on your treatment costs.

The application process for early superannuation release usually takes two to four weeks to complete. This allows you to access the funds needed to begin your dental treatment without unnecessary delays.

Did you know that you can apply for the early release of your Superannuation to pay for your, or your family member’s dental and orthodontic treatments? SuperCare is a partner service provider that can assist you in making an application via the CRS Program, operated by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO), to cover dental and orthodontic costs.
