Yes — Irish citizens who worked in Australia on a temporary visa (usually the 417 working holiday, often extended to a second and third year) can claim their entire super balance as a DASP after leaving, once the visa has expired or been cancelled. The legislated tax is 65% for working holiday makers or 35% (taxed element) for other temporary visas, and payment reaches your Irish account in about 28 days from a complete application.
Two or three years of jobs = two or three funds (at least)
Between the regional work for your second year, the Bondi hospitality stint and the city office temp job, every employer was paying 12% super — usually into their own default fund. Three years at Irish-backpacker pace commonly leaves $5,000–$12,000 across several accounts. Our flat fee covers finding and claiming every one of them, plus anything already sitting at the ATO.
Paid to your Irish account
The fund or the ATO pays you directly — an Irish account works via SWIFT/BIC (AIB, Bank of Ireland, PTSB, Revolut and friends all handle inbound AUD; your bank sets the conversion rate to euro). We never hold your money at any point.
Already home a while?
If you left more than about six months ago, your balance has likely been transferred to the ATO as unclaimed super. Still claimable, taxed at 65% as a DASP — and locating it is part of the service, not an extra.
How the claim works from overseas
Everything is done from your phone: the 5-minute form, payment of the flat $149 + GST, and a passport-and-selfie identity check powered by Didit — no certified copies, no embassy appointments, no posting documents to Australia. We lodge with the ATO and your super funds through the registered-agent channel, and the money is paid directly to your nominated account, typically within 28 days of a complete application.
Common questions
I did my rural work for the second year — does that complicate the claim?
Only in the sense that farm employers love obscure default funds. It’s the classic multi-account scenario and exactly what our all-funds search is built for. One application still covers the lot.
Is the DASP taxed again in Ireland?
It’s taxed in Australia at the legislated rate before payment. Irish treatment of the receipt is a question for Revenue or an Irish accountant — we’re Australian-registered and won’t pretend otherwise. We give you the payment summary either way.
My mate used a percentage agent and lost a fortune. How are you different?
Percentage agents commonly take 15–20% of the balance — on €6,000-worth of super that’s €900–€1,200. We charge a flat $149 + GST (about €90) whatever the balance, and we’re verifiable on the TPB public register as Registered Tax Agent 26076969.
Can I claim if I’m planning to go back to Australia one day?
You can claim any time your visa has ended and you’ve left. If you return and work again later, you’ll simply accrue a fresh super balance. A DASP now doesn’t affect future visas.
