The Economic Vitality Report: The impact of the GFC on Australians
The impact of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) on financial markets first became apparent in 2007. However it was not until September 2008 that the Reserve Bank of Australia responded with the first in a series of decreases in official interest rates. By December 2008, the GFC was starting to affect individuals and households, causing changes in consumer confidence, employment, and income and expenditure patterns.

The Lifewise / NATSEM Underinsurance Report
Understanding the social and economic cost of underinsurance
One in five Australian families will suffer the death of a parent or a serious accident or illness that renders a parent unable to work, according to new Lifewise / NATSEM research. The research, titled the Lifewise / NATSEM Underinsurance Report, found the underinsurance of parents with dependent children and a mortgage will cost the Australian Government an estimated $1.3 billion in additional social security payments over the next decade. In addition the research found that the typical Australian family will lose half (in some cases more) of its income if a parent dies or is unable to work due to serious illness or injury.
