The Review into the Governance, Efficiency, Structure and Operation of Australia’s Superannuation

The NFAW has made a submission to the Phase 3 Governance Discussion Paper of the Cooper Review of Australia’s Superannuation System. The Cooper Review is addressing a range of management issues, and does not cover the broader policy issues concerning superannuation which are being investigated by the team headed by Dr Henry, Secretary of the Treasury.

Discussion of possible desirable changes to superannuation management arose during the consultations on the TAI Report and the barriers to women’s employment, and these are reflected in the Cooper submission.  Meanwhile, we await the publication, anticipated in March, of the Government’s Response to the final report of the Henry Review into Australia’s Future Tax System. There is extensive speculation in the media about the content of the Henry Report, as well as about likely Governmental responses.
