The process to access your super can be difficult, especially if you have a short time to access it. To help with this there is a company called ‘Supercare’ which will organise all this for you and guide you through the process.
SuperCare is an external service provider assisting individuals and Family Members in applying for the Government’s Compassionate Early Release of Super Programme to cover surgery costs.
It is also permitted to access the super funds of a parent or spouse if your own super funds are inadequate.
SuperCare can help facilitate funding for gastric sleeve, band removal and your aftercare program.
