ABC Interview: Dr. Greg Miller talks about why Aussies use over $1.4B of their super for health costs

24 October 2025 | Media, News

The early release of superannuation for medical expenses has become an alarming trend in Australia, with over $1.4 billion accessed for this purpose in the last financial year alone.

This critical issue was the focus of an interview last Monday (the 20th) on ABC Radio Adelaide.

Dr. Greg Miller, Chairman of the Australian Dental Foundation, joined Nikolai Beilharz as a special guest on the Adelaide Drive program to discuss how Aussies are dipping into their retirement savings for health costs.

The central discussion focused on the growing number of Aussies dipping into their super to cover essential health costs, particularly dental treatment. For thousands of families, using this money has become the “last resort” to afford dental care in Australia, seriously compromising their financial planning and long-term retirement security.
