Submission to the Federal Government’s 2025 Economic Reform Roundtable

Our nation’s $4.2 trillion super system is Australia’s most powerful economic asset in the quest to jumpstart productivity and forge a new blueprint for national economic growth. It gives Australia an outsized economic edge over all other nations – and every working Australian owns a stake in it.

This submission by the Super Members Council sets out a package of reforms that would drive a strong uplift in national productivity and living standards, spur economic growth, strengthen budget sustainability, and enhance intergenerational fairness. Of note, our proposals include a reform to dismantle current barriers to better match-make super capital with our nation’s most promising science and startups – noting Australia’s innate strengths in biotech, medtech, AI and quantum – all productivity gamechangers that can be supercharged.
