Superannuation :: Information for temporary residents

If you were a temporary resident of Australia, and have now departed you should note that there are special rules that apply to your superannuation benefit.

We are required to transfer any superannuation not claimed by departing holders of temporary visas to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) when at least six months has elapsed since both of the following occurred:

• you departed Australia, and
• your visa was cancelled or has expired.

You can still claim this benefit directly from the ATO after this time. Please contact the ATO on 13 10 20. Alternatively, you can contact us and we will provide you with details of the transfer of your benefit.

Please note if your benefit has been transferred to the ATO, we're not required to send you an exit statement.
