The Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance (ANZIIF) is delighted to support Guide Dogs SA/NT as our charity partner for the 2025 South Australian Charity Luncheon.

Returning for its 52nd year, the luncheon is an annual social and networking event for the South Australian insurance industry, offering an opportunity for insurance professionals to connect and raise funds for a meaningful cause.

All proceeds from the event will go to Guide Dogs SA/NT, supporting their life changing work in providing Guide, Assistance, and Facility Dogs for individuals living with low vision, blindness, or other specialised needs. For over 65 years, Guide Dogs SA/NT has been empowering people to live with greater independence, participation, and inclusion in their communities.

“We are pleased to be involved with the ANZIIF 2025 South Australian Charity Luncheon to raise funds and awareness for Guide Dogs SA/NT. I hope participants will be inspired to learn about the support we provide through our clinical services as well as the life-changing companionship a Guide or Assistance Dog can bring. I am grateful that this event allows us the opportunity to share our mission and hope that attendees feel empowered to show their support, whether that be financially or by taking action to improve accessibility in our community,” says Aaron Chia, CEO of Guide Dogs SA/NT.

“Our South Australian Charity Luncheon showcases the generosity of the insurance business sector and insurance professionals. Partnering with an established charity such as Guide Dogs SA/NT is a true honour,” says ANZIIF CEO, Katrina Shanks.

This year’s luncheon will feature a line-up of interactive fundraising activities, and a three-course meal of local cuisine and drinks. Additionally, a networking drinks function will follow the luncheon.
