The Great Australian Dream slipping further out of reach as cost-of-living lingers

Australians are redefining what success means to them as the former version of The Great Australian Dream slips further out of reach, according to this year’s The Australia Project study from The Lab.

Titled ‘Slower, Surer, Stronger’ , the report takes the “perspectives of over 2000 everyday Australians” and highlights the cultural narratives emerging.

“The immediate post-Covid rose tinted hope that a reset was on the cards has worn off,” the report reads, “and the pace status we were feeling four years ago is back. In a big way. And yet, the benefits aren’t there.”
