Consumer confidence has ticked up for the third week in a row but cost of living pressures mean sentiment is still below historical averages.
The 1.8 per cent uplift in overall confidence as sampled by ANZ and Roy Morgan was led by a spike in the measurement of financial health, with "current financial conditions" lifting nine per cent and partially recovering the 12.3 per cent loss across eight weeks.
The "future financial conditions" sub-index lifted by 2.8 per cent.
