As to requiring that you pay back the super: I believe this isn't lawful, and in any event you can only recover the balance on your super fund once you have physically departed Australia => difficult to enforce too.

Re: Departing Australia Superannuation Payment (DASP).
I have been working in australia for roughly 3 years, for nearly all of that time I was on a contract that was paid from another country. I just signed a Australia contract last month and started a Super fund, when I leave next month I will claim my Super and the ATO will see that I have been in Australia paying tax for 3 years but only paid 3 months super! If its the Law that a company must pay super will the ATO bring it up with my company?

I'd be more concerned about the business sponsor obligations if I was the employer - unless you are working in one of a limited number of occupations you should have been paid under Australian PAYG, ie in Australia not from another country, for the duration of the time you were working in Australia as the holder of a 457 visa.
The superannuation obligations flow from the operation of an Australian payroll.

Thanks for your reply, now where could I find out the limited number of occupations list?
Do you have any employer law type people you could recommend?
Best regards
