What factors may impact processing times?

  • The above processing times only begin once all necessary requirements for a request have been received. To avoid any delays, please ensure all forms are complete before submitting.
  • Items received on non-business days, or a public holiday will be processed the following business day.
  • Please refer to the important information and terms and conditions on the form for the request you’re submitting. Additional supporting documents may be required for some request types or circumstances.
  • Some requests, such as asset transfers and rollover requests, require us to liaise with third parties like other platforms or registries. Some third parties may have different cut off times to us and any delays in receiving the information from them can impact the time it takes us to complete a request.
  • For withdrawal and closure requests, cash must be available in the account before submitting the request. For IDPS accounts, assets must be sold to cash or transferred out before a closure can be completed.
  • The completion time for account closure requests may be impacted by events such as managed fund and distribution payments, or tax processing.
  • Cut-off times may change around EOFY.
  • Some requests require additional processing. For your visibility, we will notify you when we create additional cases to assist with processing your original request. You’ll be able to see a link to the original request within Request Centre.
