Members of the group include FPA chief executive Jo-Anne Bloch, Investment and Financial Services Association chief executive Richard Gilbert, Association of Superannuation Funds of Australia chief executive Pauline Vamos, Industry Funds Management chair Gary Weaven, Institute of Actuaries of Australia chief executive John Maroney and Self Managed Super Fund Professionals' Association chief executive Andrea Slattery.

Representatives from the academic sector include Edith Cowan University head of accounting associate professor Marilyn Clark-Murphy and University of New South Wales, associate dean of the Australian School of Business, professor John Piggott.

 
 

The Government will consult the committee with regards to issues around superannuation and will aim to meet three times a year.
