Retirement Income Review

In response to the Coalition Government’s 2020 Retirement Income Review, which examined the long-term sustainability of Australia’s retirement income system—including potential changes to the Age Pension and Superannuation Guarantee (SG)—we delivered high-impact economic analysis to support industry advocacy.

Approach

Commissioned by both the Financial Services Council (FSC) and Industry Super Australia (ISA), we developed independent economic reports to inform their submissions to the Review.

Our work featured rigorous economic modelling on the macroeconomic effects of SG, detailed analysis of living standards, and importance to Australian economy.

Designed to withstand public and political scrutiny, our analysis played a central role in shaping the national debate.

Client Outcomes

The ISA report launched by former Prime Minister The Hon. Malcolm Turnbull and The Hon. Greg Combet (see below), underscoring its credibility and impact.

Both reports persuaded Coalition Government not to defer the increase in SG.
