Question: How can I get to super money early?

Answer passage (source: Australia):
page_title: COVID-19 early release of super
section_headers: Before you apply
ATO-held super and rollovers
section_content: ATO-held super cannot be accessed directly from the ATO for a COVID-19 early
release. If you wish to access super money we currently hold for you, you will
need to transfer it to your super fund before you can apply for COVID-19 early
release of super.
You can transfer ATO-held super to an eligible fund in our online services
through myGov. You will need to wait for the transferred super to reach your
nominated fund before you apply for COVID-19 early release.
If you want to apply for COVID-19 early release and consolidate your super
into one fund, this cannot be done at the same time. You should either:

wait until the rollover to your super fund is complete before you apply for COVID-19 early release of super, or
wait until your application for COVID-19 early release of super has been approved and paid into your bank account, before you consolidate any accounts

Doesn't have instructions in the text itself, but does it to them.

Answer passage (source: Australia):
page_title: COVID-19 early release of super
section_headers: After you apply
section_content: It will take us up to four business days to process your application and send
your outcome letter to your myGov inbox. You may also receive an SMS
notification.
If you receive a notification from us and haven't applied to access your super
early, you need to call us or your fund as soon as possible.
If you have an Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) fund and
your application is approved, you do not need to contact us or your fund. Your
fund will make the payment to you without you needing to apply to them
directly.
The Australian Prudential Regulation Authority (APRA) have issued guidance to
super funds and expect payment to be made to members within five business days
once they have been notified by us. However, this time may increase where
funds need to contact you to clarify information. More information can be
found on APRA's websiteExternal Link.
If your fund is a state-administered fund, they need to follow the rules
of their trust deed to determine if they're allowed to release super due to
COVID-19. You will need to get confirmation from your fund, before you submit
an application, that they can release your super early and whether they
require a letter of approval (determination) from us.
If your fund is an SMSF , you will need to let them know that you have
received the letter of approval from us so they can make the payment to you.
