The Cooper Review

The Cooper Review was an independent review of the Australian superannuation (retirement savings) system, conducted in 2010-2011, to assess how well it is working and how it could be improved. Its goals were to ensure people have enough money for retirement, make the system more efficient, and protect members' benefits. The review suggested changes such as better rules for fund management, improved transparency, and increased competition among super funds. Overall, it aimed to strengthen Australia’s retirement savings system so individuals can enjoy a more secure financial future.
