AIST submission: Access to offenders’ superannuation for victims and survivors of child sexual abuse

AIST and Women In Super support the proposed policy intent to prevent offenders shielding assets in the super system. As the ATO has oversight of the full super system, they should be tasked with the administration of the scheme with the role of funds limited to facilitating the release of funds to the ATO on receipt of an instruction. Some administrative issues will need to be addressed for the successful implementation of the proposals, and we raise some additional matters specific to superannuation for consideration of policymakers.
