Immediate access to treatment
No need for upfront payment
Government-approved funding option
Covers detox, rehab, and aftercare
Superannuation funding is a government-regulated option that allows individuals to withdraw part of their superannuation early if they can demonstrate that addiction treatment is necessary for their health and well-being. One of the more popular funding options with our clients, early super access makes immediate access to our detox and sobriety programs far more accessible.
The application process involves obtaining medical certification from a registered doctor confirming that rehabilitation is an essential medical treatment. Once approved, the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) releases the funds directly to the treatment provider, ensuring that the costs of detox, inpatient rehabilitation, and relapse prevention are covered.

Yes. If your superannuation balance doesn’t cover the full cost of treatment, you can use it to fund part of your stay. We can then help you explore other options — such as payment plans — to cover the remaining cost and ensure you can still access the care you need.
Applying for early release of your superannuation for addiction treatment involves several steps. First, you will need a supporting letter from a registered medical professional stating that rehabilitation is essential for your health and well-being. This letter, along with an application, is submitted to the Australian Taxation Office (ATO) under compassionate grounds. Once approved, the funds are released directly to The Hader Clinic to cover your treatment. Our team is available to guide you through this process, ensuring your application meets all necessary requirements.
The approval process for accessing superannuation funds varies depending on the ATO’s processing times and the completeness of your application. On average, it takes two to four weeks for approval. To avoid delays, we recommend ensuring all documentation is accurate and submitted promptly. Our team can assist in preparing your application to help streamline the process.
Yes, in many cases, you can apply to access your superannuation to fund treatment for an immediate family member, such as a spouse, child, or dependent. The process is similar to applying for yourself and requires medical documentation supporting the need for treatment. If you are unsure whether you are eligible, our team can help assess your options and guide you through the necessary steps.
Superannuation withdrawals under compassionate grounds may be subject to taxation, depending on your super fund’s policies and your age. Typically, withdrawals are taxed at a concessional rate, but it’s best to check with your super fund or a financial professional to understand any potential tax obligations before applying.
If your application is not approved, there are still other pathways to fund your treatment. We can explore alternative funding options, including payment plans, financial assistance programs, or private health insurance coverage if applicable. Our goal is to ensure that finances do not become a barrier to receiving the help you need.
