Ozempic, Mounjaro, and the New Era of Weight Loss: How Australians Are Using Their Super to Fund It
In recent years, Australians struggling with weight have seen a major shift in treatment options. Where once invasive surgery was the go-to solution, a new era has emerged — one that’s safer, more accessible, and scientifically proven to deliver real results.
Enter Ozempic and Mounjaro. These groundbreaking medications are transforming lives. But there’s one problem: the cost.
The Cost Barrier: What’s Holding People Back?
While Ozempic and Mounjaro have been hailed for their ability to support significant weight loss and improve metabolic health, they come with a steep price tag — often exceeding $8,000 a year. And because these medications aren’t listed on the Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme (PBS) for weight loss, patients are left to cover the full cost out-of-pocket.
For many, that’s simply not an option.
The Good News: You May Be Able to Use Your Super
At Release My Super, we’ve helped thousands of Australians access their superannuation early to fund medical treatment. Now, we’re proud to support eligible individuals looking to fund their weight loss treatment with Ozempic, Mounjaro, or similar medications.
Under the ATO’s compassionate release criteria, funds can be released when a treatment relates to a serious health condition that significantly affects a person’s quality of life. With a psychologist’s assessment confirming the mental health impact of obesity, individuals may be approved to access money from their super — funds that can directly go toward medication costs.
A Safer, Smarter Approach to Weight Loss
Unlike bariatric surgery, which carries risks and recovery downtime, these medications are non-invasive, scientifically backed, and shown to have positive side effects beyond weight reduction — including improvements in depression, anxiety, blood pressure, and insulin resistance.
It’s no surprise that as this treatment option gains traction, many weight loss surgery clinics are scaling back or closing altogether. Australians are choosing a new path — one that’s effective, empowering, and less disruptive to daily life.
