MEDIA ALERT: Launch of the Brighter Super & Investment Trends 2026 Retirement Income Report Tuesday, 10 November 2026, 10am AEDT

How are living costs changing Australians’ retirement plans? Join Brighter Super and Investment Trends for the launch of the 2026 Retirement Income Report to explore the pressures, choices and expectations shaping life before and during retirement. 

Now in its 17th year, the report is one of Australia’s longest running and most comprehensive studies of Australians’ retirement journeys, drawing on a survey of more than 4,000 Australians aged 40 and over. Gain early access to the findings, hear directly from the experts and put your questions to the speakers as we explore: 

• The retirement reality check: how prepared do Australians feel for retirement? 

• Retirement vs the household budget: how are cost-of-living pressures reshaping plans and spending decisions? 

• Super and advice: what role do they play in shaping Australians’ retirement experiences? 

• The Australian Retirement Outlook Index: unveiling the latest picture of retirement readiness and confidence. 

Talent: 

• Julian Cappe, Head of Research, Investment Trends

Speakers will take questions after the presentations. A media pack will be provided on the day.
