Who We Are: Founder & CEO, Super for Health

At Super for Health, we work with leading healthcare providers across Australia—including general practitioners, surgeons, dentists, IVF specialists, and mental health professionals—to make essential treatment more accessible through ethical access to superannuation.

Founded by Australian healthcare professionals, Super for Health emerged in response to a growing challenge. Patients experiencing urgent medical needs—whether for chronic dental pain, IVF treatment, surgery, or mental health support—were not only facing clinical distress but also the financial burden of accessing care.

We recognised the absence of a secure, transparent, and compliant service to help patients access their superannuation under compassionate grounds for medically necessary treatment. Super for Health was created to fill this gap—offering a trusted solution that protects patients and healthcare providers alike.

 

 



Ethics and Governance at the Core

Super for Health is built on a foundation of governance, compliance, and clinical integrity. Every case is carefully evaluated by our experienced team using AHPRA-aligned protocols to ensure superannuation is accessed appropriately for eligible, medically necessary care.

We support patients seeking a range of treatments, including:

  • Chronic pain relief (e.g. dental and surgical)

  • Mental health interventions

  • IVF and reproductive health procedures

  • Essential surgery

We also provide education and guidance to healthcare providers and their teams to ensure patients are fully informed of their eligibility and obligations. This reduces confusion, helps patients make confident choices, and safeguards clinicians from overstepping regulatory boundaries around financial advice.

 


 

Responding to Growing Demand Across Health Categories

We hear from as many patients as we do clinics—and the message is clear: Australians want more control over their healthcare funding. With over $4.2 trillion held in superannuation, and 80% of it owned by Australians aged 50–75, more individuals are looking at how they can use their own savings to get the care they need—now.

Importantly, superannuation can also be accessed for a partner, spouse, or dependent, allowing families to support each other through major health events.

This is no longer a niche need. Each year, more Australians access their super on compassionate grounds, with a 20% annual increase in withdrawals. This reflects growing awareness that this is their money—and it can be used to improve their health and quality of life.

 


 

Helping Practices Unlock Dormant Treatment Plans

One of the most frequent challenges we hear from healthcare providers is:

“We have patients who want treatment—but cost is holding them back. What can we do?”

Often, treatment plans remain on file for months, even years—not because the need isn’t urgent, but because patients lack a viable funding pathway. This is especially true in categories like Dental, IVF, mental health, and elective surgery, where out-of-pocket costs can be substantial.

Super for Health provides a structured, compliant pathway that enables patients to access their superannuation under compassionate grounds. When this option becomes available, the conversation changes. Patients gain a sense of possibility. Practices see dormant treatment plans come back to life.

We work closely with patients and providers to remove the uncertainty and friction that often blocks progress. Our experienced case managers understand the clinical context and regulatory environment for each treatment category. That means faster applications, fewer delays, and a higher likelihood that patients will return informed, confident, and ready to proceed.

By reducing financial barriers in a compliant and ethical way, we help practices turn postponed treatment into active care — and give patients a pathway to improved health outcomes.
