The Institute in conjunction with the Department of Regional Development and Lands is delighted to have secured renowned demographer, KPMG Partner and best-selling author, Bernard Salt.

Based in Melbourne, Bernard has established a reputation as a trend forecaster for business and government. In 2010 Bernard produced KPMG's Future Focus report aimed at business and government which looked at development options for Australia in the 2010s. He is a best-selling author, a twice-weekly columnist with The Australian newspaper, a regular on the Australian speaking circuit, and a business advisor. He also heads a group of consultants within KPMG providing demographic advice to business and government.
