Report – Retirement revolution: Super’s coming of age

This report is the first substantial picture of the trends taking place in Australia’s retirement system since the Government’s Retirement Income Review in 2020, tracking current and expected dynamics of our retirement system.

It uses first-of-its-kind analysis to help us understand the way in which the Super Guarantee is transforming the retirements of everyday workers and the Australian economy, despite the fact the system has decades more to reach full maturity.

It is the first of three major reports SMC will release in 2025 focused on Australia’s retirement income system. Subsequent reports in this series will explore the challenges that need to be addressed over the coming years to ensure the system continues to deliver world-class retirement outcomes for all.
