Access my super

Early release of superannuation benefits on specified grounds

Superannuation is meant to help you live your best life in retirement, but we know life doesn’t always go to plan.

There are two circumstances in which you can access your superannuation if you are struggling financially: compassionate grounds and severe financial hardship.

When you apply to access your super early, Super SA will assess your individual situation to see whether it meets the criteria for these circumstances set out in Commonwealth legislation.

Super SA will then make a decision on whether you may access your super early.
