Already tied for the world's highest life expectancy for men, Australia is set to improve on that statistic in the decades ahead.
The government's Inter-generational Report released March 5 provides projections for Australia 40 years out. It shows male life expectancy will climb to 95.1 years for men and 96.6 for women in 2054-55, compared with 91.5 and 93.6 years currently.
