ASFA Conference

Inspiring excellence
The ASFA Conference brings all players of the superannuation industry together under one roof for an information-packed program to explore new ways to solve challenges and enrich the customer (member) journey and outcome.

Global and local thought leaders and industry experts, some from outside super, share new perspectives, research and innovation – through keynote presentations, parallel sessions and workshops – to educate, challenge established thinking and inspire the entire superannuation industry to keep improving retirement outcomes for millions of people.

He lectured at Monash University, was an economic adviser in the Gillard government and was a Victorian MP from 2014 to 2018. As Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasurer of Victoria, Daniel helped deliver major infrastructure projects and developed innovative financing structures for community projects.

In 2018 he was preselected for the new federal seat of Fraser and became its first MP at the 2019 election, re-elected in 2022 and 2025. From 2022 to 2025, Daniel was chair of the House of Representatives’ Standing Economics Committee in which he chaired inquiries; economic dynamism, competition and business formation and insurers’ responses to 2022 major floods claims.
