Fairness in Retirement
Income
Campaigning for a retirement income
system based on principles of adequacy, sustainability, certainty and fairness.
The issue
Older people want financial security but the retirement income system is complex and confusing; and pension rules are punitive.
What we're calling for
We are calling for a fairer system with simpler rules that help older people become more financially self-sufficient.
The benefits
Reducing financial worry among older Australians, will help them feel more confident about the economy and the future.
National Seniors Australia campaigned to improve the Pension Loans Scheme (now called the Home Equity Access Scheme).
We were successful in lowering of the interest rate from 5.25% to 3.95%. A huge win for seniors who need a safe way to release their home equity to live a better retirement.
