The ATO released operational data on compassionate release of superannuation (CRS) applications for dental treatment covering FY23 and FY24. Approvals nearly doubled from 13,540 to 21,800 individuals. The majority of approved applicants were aged 36–55 (representing approximately 60% in both years) and earned between $45,001–$120,000 annually. NSW and Queensland accounted for roughly half of all approvals. Rejection data reveals systemic processing challenges: missing or incomplete medical reports were the dominant reason for denial in both years (7,980 in FY23, 11,150 in FY24), followed by insufficient evidence, invoice errors, and ineligible expenses. The sharp increase in rejections suggests either rising application volumes or tightened documentation standards, though incomplete medical reports consistently proved the primary barrier to approval.
