The bulk of the 60-65 cohort will be leaving soon so not too many reaching 65 over the next few years. SH training isn’t exactly a walk in the park, and the job is a lot different. Most don’t stay for more than a few years.

As far as super goes the market is now at April 2019 levels so balances are well on the way to recovering, and a lot of defined benefit super is only dependant on the best 3 years in the last 10, of which there won’t be any better than the last 3 for a while.

A lot of signs on the domestic front are showing quite a quick bounce back to 2019 levels, and international would be similar. Someone up high has seen a reason to start multiple Academy courses into the first half of next year that won’t have the cadets graduating until well into 2022. Quite possibly long term forecasts are seeing a need for them
