Clinical need is only one part of the criteria
The ATO assesses applications for compassionate release. Relevant medical grounds include treatment for a life-threatening illness or injury, acute or chronic pain, or acute or chronic mental illness. Wanting a particular dental procedure does not by itself establish eligibility.
Check the current ATO criteria and evidence requirements for your circumstances before applying. Do not assume implants, veneers or other named treatments qualify automatically.
Understand your condition and treatment choices
We assess your teeth and gums, discuss appropriate alternatives and prepare a written treatment plan and estimate. Ask about clinical priorities, staged care and the risks of each option.
Where clinically appropriate, we can provide dental documentation. Required medical reports and other supporting evidence are determined by the ATO’s application requirements.
Consider the wider financial effects
Withdrawing super early reduces your retirement balance and may affect insurance and benefits. Consider independent financial advice and check with your super fund before applying.
The ATO assesses compassionate release; your fund handles the release process. A third-party application service cannot guarantee approval. Review any service fees and responsibilities before agreeing to assistance.
Ask about other payment arrangements and staged treatment where clinically suitable.
Keep assessment, application and treatment separate
- Arrange a dental assessment and obtain an itemised treatment plan.
- Check the ATO requirements and gather the requested evidence.
- Confirm your super fund’s release process and consider independent advice.
- Wait for the application outcome and receipt of funds before committing to treatment that depends on the release.
Do not delay assessment of dental pain or swelling while arranging funding. Contact the clinic about urgent symptoms.
Enquire about dental assessment and documentation
