From 1992 employers were required by law to pay a minimum level of superannuation for their employees. The committee was established to examine a wide range of superannuation issues and in particular matters related to the superannuation award. Several government bills covering compulsory superannuation were also examined. The committee prepared 31 reports during the period June 1992 to July 1998.
