DASP Application Online, Lodged For You
Yes, we do this. If you worked in Australia on a temporary visa and you have now gone home, the super your employers paid is still yours. We handle the whole departing Australia superannuation payment claim for you, from finding your funds to getting the money into your account. You never need to set foot in Australia again to do it.
Who Can Claim Super After Leaving Australia
If you held an eligible temporary visa, worked here, and have since left with that visa no longer in effect, the money is yours. Most people never claim it because the paperwork looks harder than it is. This is the service we provide, and we run these claims regularly.
Working Holiday Makers
Backpackers who held a 417 or 462 visa. Your whole payment is taxed at the working holiday maker rate, so getting the application right matters more here than anywhere else.
Sponsored & Skilled Workers
482, 457, 494 and other sponsored visa holders who finished a contract and went home. Often several employers and several funds, which is where balances go missing.
Students & Graduates
Student 500 and graduate 485 visa holders who worked part-time while studying. Small balances from casual jobs add up, and they are just as claimable as large ones.
Left Years Ago
If more than six months have passed, your fund has probably transferred the money to the ATO as unclaimed super. It is not lost. We claim it back from the ATO for you.

A Registered Tax Agent Doing It, Not a Claim Farm Taking a Cut
We Check Your Whole Visa History First
One working holiday visa anywhere in your past pushes the entire payment onto the working holiday maker rate, even the years you worked on a different visa. We confirm this before you apply, so the number you are told is the number you get.
We Find the Super You Forgot About
Casual jobs, labour hire, one summer in hospitality. Each one may have opened a fund you never saw. We search the lot, including money the ATO is already holding, so nothing gets left behind in Australia.
Your Final Tax Return Sorted at the Same Time
Most people leaving Australia still have one tax return outstanding. We are IPA and TPB registered, so we finish the return and the super claim together rather than sending you off to a second provider.
Your DASP Application Online in Three Steps
Eligibility & Fund Search
Tell us your visa history, employers and departure date. We confirm you qualify, search for every super account in your name, and tell you what tax rate will apply before we go any further.
Documents & Lodgement
We collect your passport and visa evidence, arrange certified copies if your balance is $5,000 or more, and lodge with each fund, or with the ATO where your super has already been transferred.
Paid and Followed Up
Funds usually pay within 28 days of a complete application. We track each one, chase anything that stalls, and send you the payment summary showing exactly what was withheld.
We Quote You Before We Start
There is no set fee, because no two claims are the same. Tell us your situation and we will come back with a fixed quote in writing, along with an estimate of what you should receive after tax. Get in touch for a quote.
How Many Funds
One employer and one fund is straightforward. Six casual jobs across three years, with two accounts now held by the ATO, takes real work to reassemble.
Certified Documents
Balances under $5,000 can often go straight through the fund. Above that, certified proof of your immigration status is required, and we organise it with you.
Outstanding Tax Returns
If you left with a return still unlodged, we can handle that at the same time. Bundled together it costs less than sorting each one separately.
What People Ask Before They Claim
Do you actually handle DASP applications?
Yes. It is a service we offer and we run these claims regularly for former temporary residents now living overseas. We confirm your eligibility, search for every super fund in your name, prepare and lodge the application, and follow it through until the money reaches your account. You deal with a registered tax agent the whole way, and you can start the process from any country.
Who can claim super when leaving Australia?
You can claim if you worked in Australia on an eligible temporary visa, you have now left the country, and that visa has expired or been cancelled. Australian and New Zealand citizens and permanent residents cannot claim a DASP. New Zealand citizens have a separate option, which is transferring the balance to a KiwiSaver account instead. Send us your visa history and we will confirm where you sit before you commit to anything.
How much tax is withheld from the payment?
Tax is withheld by the fund or the ATO before you are paid. The taxed element is generally withheld at 35 per cent and the untaxed element at 45 per cent, while any tax-free component is not taxed. If you ever held a working holiday maker visa (subclass 417 or 462), the working holiday maker rate of 65 per cent applies to the whole payment, not just the period you spent on that visa. This is the single biggest thing people get wrong, so we check it first.
Can I withdraw super before leaving Australia?
No. You have to have departed Australia and your temporary visa has to have ceased to be in effect before a claim can be paid. You can get everything ready in advance though, and that is worth doing. We can gather your fund details, check your visa history and prepare the application while you are still here, so it goes in the moment you become eligible.
I left Australia years ago. Is my super gone?
No. If the claim was not made within six months of leaving and your visa ceasing, your fund will usually have transferred the balance to the ATO as unclaimed super money. It is still yours and there is no deadline on claiming it from the ATO. The process is slightly different because we claim from the ATO rather than the fund, and we handle both the same way.
