Super Consumers Australia

The government’s move to shift Australia’s superannuation system to a focus on the retirement phase might be a big ask for a population long focussed on accumulation. But it’s a necessary one, as most retirees don’t fully grasp how to make their golden years work for them.

Consumer access to sound advice comes first, according to Michelle Levy, the Allens partner who recently led a review into the sector. She urged the government to dispense with any further consultations and get on with implementing the review’s far-reaching reforms.
