  • Child Dental Benefits Schedule (CDBS): We participate in the CDBS, which allows us to bulk bill eligible children aged 2-17. This scheme covers up to $1,052 over two years for essential dental services, including check-ups, fillings, and much more.
  • Department of Veterans’ Affairs (DVA): We accept both DVA Gold and White cards, providing comprehensive dental care for veterans. This ensures that eligible veterans receive the necessary dental services with minimal or no out-of-pocket expenses.

Superannuation Early Release

We know that healthcare does come with costs, and there are many other tempting expenses competing for our attention. It’s a challenge to keep our priorities in check, but we stress the importance of prioritizing health. Without a healthy body, the pursuits and plans we work towards lose their meaning if we are unwell and cannot fully enjoy them. While medical costs can pose challenges for families, maintaining good health can prevent additional costs and problems in the long run.

One option we offer at Jindalee Family Dental & Implant Centre is the use of superannuation for dental expenses. You may be eligible for compassionate release of super to cover necessary medical treatment or transport expenses for yourself or your dependents. Please note that eligibility for a family member is determined within the definitions provided by the Superannuation Industry (Supervision) Act 1993.

The process of Release your Superannuation Early on Compassionate Grounds typically involves applying to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) for early release on compassionate grounds. Dental treatments that are deemed essential for the patient’s health and well-being may be considered eligible for early release of superannuation funds. It’s important to note that approval is subject to individual circumstances and the severity of the dental condition.

Patients considering this option should consult with their dentist to assess the urgency and necessity of the dental treatment. Additionally, we encourage patients to seek financial advice and speak to the tax consultant to get an understanding on the potential impact on their retirement savings. While early release of superannuation can provide a timely solution for addressing dental issues, it’s essential for patients to carefully consider the implications and explore alternative payment options.

How can Jindalee Family Dental & Implant Centre support you? The question of ‘Can I access my super for dental work?’ goes beyond determining eligibility. Our dedicated and experienced team at Jindalee Family Dental & Implant Centre is here to seamlessly guide you through the complexities of your application process and provide assistance with the super release form. This ensures that you and your family can prioritize the most important issue – your health.

Releasing superannuation early to cover dental expenses is a process that involves accessing your superannuation funds before you reach the usual retirement age. Dental Treatments eligible for early release super include Dental Implants, Root Canal Therapy, Crowns, Periodontal Treatment, Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery. Here’s a general overview of how it works:

 

Eligibility

  • Exceptional Circumstances: To access your super early, you typically need to meet specific criteria set by the Australian Taxation Office (ATO). For dental expenses, this generally falls under “compassionate grounds,” which includes significant medical expenses.
  • Medical Evidence: You’ll need to provide evidence of the medical necessity of your dental treatment. This usually means a letter from your dentist outlining the nature of the treatment and why it’s essential.

Application Process

  • Check Eligibility
  • Prepare Documentation
  • Submit an Application
  • Review Process through ATO
  • Approval and Access: If approved, your superannuation fund will release the funds to you or directly to your dental provider. This process can take several weeks, so it’s important to plan accordingly.

 

Jindalee Family Dental & Implant Centre will assist with preparing and providing the necessary documentation for your application. However, it’s crucial to consult with your tax consultant and financial advisor to ensure you understand the implications and make informed decisions.

 

Considerations

  • Tax Implications: Early release of superannuation may have tax implications. Generally, the amount withdrawn will be taxed at your marginal rate, but this depends on the specific circumstances and regulations at the time.
  • Impact on Retirement Savings: Withdrawing funds from your superannuation will reduce the amount available for your retirement, so it’s important to consider the long-term impact.
  • Financial Advice: It’s advisable to seek financial advice to understand the implications and ensure you’re making the best decision for your financial situation.

 

It’s essential to consult with your tax consultant and financial advisor, particularly when considering the Early Release of Superannuation.
