Key dates explained
RBA meeting
On the first Tuesday of every month (excluding January), the Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) meets to review the official cash rate. It may choose to increase or decrease this rate, which has a significant knock-on effect for the interest rates offered on things like home loans, personal loans and savings accounts.
Whether the cash rate rises or falls, this can be a good time to review your financial products. If you have a home loan, you might want to consider refinancing to a better rate.
If you have a personal loan, you might want to consider getting a debt consolidation loan. For savings accounts, you might want to review high-interest savings accounts and see if you could get a better return elsewhere.
Consumer Price Index
The Consumer Price Index (CPI) is a measure of household inflation calculated by the Australian Bureau of Statistics. It measures how much the cost of living has increased over the last 12 months, based on a basket of standard household goods and services.
The CPI also affects things like HECS-HELP debts, which are indexed each year based on this figure.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please read our website terms of use and privacy policy for more information about our services and our approach to privacy.
We update our data regularly, but information can change between updates. Confirm details with the provider you're interested in before making a decision.
