If you need to apply because of financial hardship

You can apply for early access to your super because of severe financial hardship through your super fund.

They may want evidence from us to confirm if you meet the income support requirements for financial hardship. We can give you a letter to give to your fund. Some funds can check if you meet the requirements online, but you must agree before they do this.
