What is superannuation?

Superannuation (or "super") is a retirement savings system in Australia. By law, your employer pays 12% of your wages into a super fund on top of your salary - so you have been earning more than you think.

As a working holiday maker, you can claim this money back when you leave Australia through a process called DASP - Departing Australia Superannuation Payment.

The withdrawal is taxed at 65%, but the remaining 35% is still real money in your pocket. For most backpackers, this is between $2,000 and $5,000 they did not know they had.

Yes. There is no time limit to claim your superannuation. Even if your balance has been transferred to the ATO, you can still make a claim.
You may have multiple super accounts from different employers. We help you find and combine everything before submitting your claim.
Super withdrawals (DASP) are usually paid within 2-4 weeks after the application is approved. The payment goes directly to your bank account.
Your super is paid directly to your bank account. We can arrange payment to either an Australian or overseas account based on your preference.
Generally, no. Superannuation is not usually paid for ABN (contractor) work. Super is typically only paid when you are classified as an employee. As a contractor working under an ABN, you are responsible for arranging your own super if you want it.
