If you are a former temporary resident, you can claim the super benefits you accumulated while working in Australia. To claim the Departing Australia Superannuation Payment (DASP) you must have visited on an eligible temporary resident visa (which has expired or been cancelled), and permanently departed Australia.

You can apply online, at no cost, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Applications take approximately 30 minutes to complete.

In most cases, payments will be subject to a withholding tax.

If you have not departed Australia or your visa is active, you can still record your details in the system and save your application(s). You may re-enter the system to update and submit your application(s) once you have permanently departed Australia.

If you have departed Australia but your visa is still active, you may request the Department of Immigration and Citizenship to cancel your visa.

If you require further assistance, contact Australian Taxation Office:

• if you have left Australia, phone +61 2 6216 1111 between 8.00am and 5.00pm AEST, Monday to Friday and ask to be put through to the superannuation area.
