Benefits of SuperCare
- Simple Process and Tailored Assistance
SuperCare isn’t a financial firm or a superannuation provider. Rather, we offer a straightforward process and individualized assistance every step of the way.
- Access Your Super Early for Dental Care
After your application gets the green light, you can request early release of your superannuation from your own fund trustee. It’s important to remember that each trustee’s policies determine whether funds are released.
SUPERCARE 8 STEP APPLICATION PROCESS
The SuperCare application process is seamless and allows the Patient to commence their required treatment expeditiously.
SuperCare continuously audits the progress of each CRS Application not only to ensure that all guidelines are being adhered to but also that the Client (and Practice) can have a very high level of confidence that the Application will be successful.
The ATO conducts the final assessment of each Application, which not only decides whether the Application is Approved or not but also provides a final audit of the SuperCare process.
- The clinic sends patient’s details to SuperCare via the online referral form
- A SuperCare consultant contacts the patient and discusses the eligibility
- The patient is signed on as a SuperCare client and begins the Compassionate Release of Super (CRS) application process

- GP signs the CRS form
