I chose to use Supercare to apply for early release of my super for IVF as some friends had recommended it due to the ease of the process. I was a little unsure at first because it's a significant amount of money, particularly for me as someone who didn't have much. I thought about doing it myself, but in the end I thought going with a company who do this every day would give me a greater liklihood of my application being approved because they would be able to ensure the i's were dotted and t's crossed in a way that I could not. And essentially, if I didn't do the application properly myself or missed something or didn't understand something it could either mean delays to my treatment (which I couldn't afford in terms of age) or being denied access to my super for treatment (which would mean that I would never have the opportunity to try for a baby). Really, using my super would be my only opportunity so it was very high stakes for me.
Not long after I registered with Supercare, I was contacted by Jenny. I was pretty nervous and she just instantly made me feel comfortable. She was positive, happy to answer any questions, very personable, reassuring, and made me feel very comfortable. She was clear in the process and what I needed to do which was very helpful. It was clear that Jenny is very passionate about her job and she's very good at what she does. Within hours of speaking to her, I realised that engaging supercare to apply for early release of super funds for IVF was the best decision I could have made. It became apparent that the amount of paperwork required to access super through compassionate grounds would have been incredibly overwhelming to handle on my own. Every day I just felt incredibly grateful to have someone so knowledgable, kind, and passionate guiding me through the process, letting me know the next step, kindly re-explaining when I was overwhelmed by it. Jenny understands what a big deal it is, it was like having my best friend!
