These data sets are synthesised to develop impactful insights and reporting, which are then used by senior industry stakeholders to inform customer, product and service strategies, industry policies and staff training.
Tracking household finances is the starting point to uncover complex dimensions of Australians' financial lives,



including their views on the economy, use of different financial products and future hopes and aspirations.
The program offers opportunities for the research findings to be published in industry or academic outlets and presented at industry, government or academic events.
