Deloitte Access Economics

About us

The team at Deloitte Access Economics is united by a passion for economics and a belief that it can create a better future for all. Every day we apply rigorous economic analysis to tackle the big issues.

Deloitte Access Economics is one of the most referenced sources of economic authority for media, government and business in Australia. We offer a full suite of macroeconomic and microeconomic services, including economic and financial forecasting and modelling, policy and program evaluation, and regulatory economics.

Our economic rigour comes with practical commercial advice to help shape public policy, deliver business insights and inform investment strategy. We share practical policy, industry and evidence based insight to help businesses and governments tackle the most complex economic, financial and social challenges.

In November 2017, Deloitte Access Economics was launched in New Zealand. The small but respected team of economists, led by partner Linda Meade in Wellington, combines with the Australian team to offer a broad range of economic advisory services across Australia, New Zealand and the Asia-Pacific region. We also work with clients worldwide. Our clients include listed and private companies operating in a range of sectors, including health, education, energy and resources, transport, and financial services. Our government and regulatory clients include Australia’s federal and state governments, peak bodies and industry associations and local councils.
