Mr McCrea will be responsible for ensuring that ASFA’s advocacy is prioritised appropriately and supported by evidence-based policy, as well as leading ASFA’s work on industry best practice.
He has 14 years of experience in government policy, most recently as senior adviser in the financial system and services division of Treasury.
ASFA chief executive Pauline Vamos said the appointment reflects the increasing complexity of the policy issues that are arising due to the role the superannuation system has in providing both fiscal and social outcomes.
"With his extensive knowledge in tax, superannuation, investment and economic policy, Mr McCrea's previous roles have provided him with the skills and experience to guide ASFA's policy team as the industry navigates through a more complex and changing environment," Ms Vamos said.
