Sally Tindall
Data Insights Director & chief spokesperson
As one of Australia’s leading financial and political commentators, Sally is resolute in her determination to help everyday Australians access affordable finance options that fit their needs without seeing them fall victim to marketing ploys.
She is known for her ability to decipher and scrutinise important financial changes made by financial corporations and the federal government to help people better understand how these decisions might impact them.
In her most recent role as Research Director at RateCity.com.au, Sally excelled at identifying emerging personal finance trends – and potential pitfalls – by delving into financial datasets.
Sally’s insights are geared toward helping Australians make better financial decisions. She is passionate about advancing financial literacy in Australia, particularly among our younger generations, and is committed to helping prevent financial scams through greater awareness of new and emerging threats and by advocating for stronger consumer protections.
Sally’s diverse experience includes working across all levels of government in Australia, most notably for the country’s first female Prime Minister, the Hon. Julia Gillard. During her time working for the Prime Minister, Sally worked on three Federal Budgets targeted at easing the cost of living and led the Australian Government communications team at multinational finance forums such as the G20 and APEC.
