PAYMENT PLANS
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) allows early release of superannuation on compassionate grounds in specific circumstances, including some medical and dental treatment. This isn’t a standard payment option, but a legislated pathway with its own eligibility rules, and the ATO decides every application individually.
Dentist Near Me Merrylands doesn’t assess or approve these applications. Our role is only limited to your clinical care, such as examining your teeth, discussing treatment options and preparing documentation if you choose to apply.
No. The ATO sets the eligibility criteria, and approval depends on your personal circumstances and the supporting evidence you provide, not on how urgent or expensive the treatment feels. Cosmetic treatment is far less likely to qualify than treatment the ATO considers medically necessary.
Check the current criteria directly with the ATO or a financial adviser before relying on this option.
Book an examination first so we can confirm what treatment is actually needed and provide an itemised plan and quote. From there, you’d apply directly to the ATO or your super fund, who will confirm what documentation is required. Processing times are set by the ATO, not by us, and vary case to case.
If cost is a concern, come in for an assessment before deciding how to fund treatment. We’ll explain our regular payment plans too, so you can weigh up your options.
Important: Dentist Near Me Merrylands does not determine eligibility for early release of superannuation, cannot guarantee approval, and does not provide financial advice. Please confirm current requirements with the ATO and seek independent financial guidance before making decisions based on this option.
