DASP stands for Departing Australia Superannuation Payment. It's a scheme that lets temporary visa holders reclaim their superannuation contributions when they permanently leave Australia.

You're eligible if you held a temporary visa (such as a 417 or 462 Working Holiday Visa), you've permanently departed Australia, and your visa has expired or been cancelled.

How much will I get back?

The average backpacker claim is around $1,100 AUD, though it varies based on how long you worked and your salary. Note: WHV holders are taxed at 65% on their payout.

Isn't the ATO application free?

Yes — applying through the ATO is free. Our guide helps you navigate the process correctly, avoid common rejection reasons, and not miss your window.

You have 6 months after your visa expires and you leave Australia. After that, your super is transferred to the ATO as unclaimed super — still claimable but with extra steps.
