How to claim the DASP
Apply to the ATO within six months of leaving Australia and when your visa has expired or is cancelled.
Apply to the ATO
You can use your tax file number in the application to search for your super or provide your Hostplus member number and the Hostplus ABN (68 657 495 890).
Once the ATO approves your application, they’ll instruct us to make your payment. This usually happens within 28 days of the ATO receiving your application.
If your account balance is more than $5,000
As well as completing the ATO application, you’ll need to send us:
- a completed Hostplus Departing Australia Superannuation form (PDF, 192KB)
- certified copies of your passport (details on how to do this are in the DASP form)
Eligibility
You can claim the DASP if:
- you’ve left Australia permanently
- your visa is expired or cancelled

If you’re moving to New Zealand, you can’t claim the DASP but you may be able to transfer your super to a Kiwi Saver account.
