Superannuation is a government initiative to help Australian citizens and permanent residents to save for their retirement. Every employer must make a regular contribution to a Superannuation Fund on your behalf, with contributions based on your salary. If you have a number of full or part time jobs while you are in Australia, you may find yourself with money invested in several different Superannuation Funds.
Australian citizens and permanent residents are not usually allowed access to their superannuation funds until they reach retirement age (though they can consolidate many funds into one, and they may nominate the one fund of their choice).
On the other hand, if you are in Australia on a Student Visa or any other temporary visa, and you work full or part time, you are entitled to claim these employer contributions in cash as soon as you have permanently left Australia to return home or live elsewhere and your temporary visa has expired or been cancelled.
Oli and Associates will help you claim all the money you are entitled to by searching the records to locate all the superannuation funds in which you might have money invested and apply for refunds on your behalf.
