Consumer Pulse

How do Aussie consumers really feel about their household budgets, the cost of living, and the economy as a whole?

The CHOICE Consumer Pulse is a quarterly, nationally representative survey tracking financial pressures on Australian households, from the cost of groceries and petrol to concern over increasing insurance premiums and high energy bills. It helps put real figures to the problems we hear about from our members every day – because the ultimate test of our economic system should be whether it is delivering for Australian consumers.
