Director's Spotlight: Murray Inquiry submission
CEPAR has made a submission to the Financial System Inquiry chaired by former Chief Executive of the Commonwealth Bank, David Murray.
Established in December last year to examine Australia's financial system, this inquiry follows on from the 1997 Wallis Inquiry and 1981 Campbell inquiry, both of which were seen as the catalyst for major economic reform.
In our submission CEPAR called for attention to be paid to the system of retirement income, in particular the draw-down phase of superannuation.

New Research Briefs launched: Aged Care
The latest research briefs were launched on 9 April at an event hosted by CEPAR Partner PricewaterhouseCoopers. The papers provide analysis of the aged care system in Australia based on the extensive research of CEPAR academics in the area of aged care policy and industry practice.
In launching the briefs, Age Discrimination Commissioner Susan Ryan commented on the importance of focussing on the opportunities provided by the ageing population: “While the funding and staffing challenges are huge, dramatic employment growth in many kinds of jobs in the aged care sector present new opportunities for mature, experienced people who are often blocked by age discrimination in other sectors. As well, businesses should be alert to opportunities in product and services innovation in this rapidly growing area.”
