Withdrawing superannuation
If you worked in Australia, your employer paid a compulsory 9% of your gross wages to a superannuation fund of your choice. If you’re leaving Australia, you may be eligible to receive the money paid into the account.
We can arrange the withdrawal of Superannuation for you. Remember, once you sign up to a first SuperFund, provide the membership details to all your future employers, to keep all your super in one place. This option may not always be given to you, as some employers have their own designated SuperFund. Then you need to keep the membership details with you. They are delivered by post – if you are registered for our Mail Manager, all your data is secure.
All you need to do is give us your authority and provide us with the details of your Superfund.
You can apply for the refund of your Superannuation only when you have left the country. Of course, we can do this for you, all you will need to do is giving us your details and some supporting documents. The below checklist will help you with this:
You can copy the below checklist to your e-mail, add your details and send it to us to office (at) btmhouse.net
