ANZIIF is proud to announce the return of one of South Australia’s most respected industry traditions: the ANZIIF South Australian Charity Luncheon, to be held in 2026 with a refreshed format and a renewed focus on industry impact.
A cornerstone of the South Australian insurance calendar for more than five decades, the 53rd luncheon brings together professionals from across underwriting, broking, claims, risk and leadership to collaboratively deliver positive social outcomes.
In 2026, the event will support The Zahra Foundation, an Adelaide-based domestic violence prevention service providing practical support and pathways to independence for women impacted by abuse. All proceeds from the luncheon will go directly to Zahra’s frontline programs.
ANZIIF CEO Katrina Shanks says the luncheon reflects the organisation’s purpose of advancing professional excellence through meaningful membership and industry leadership.
“The South Australian Charity Luncheon is a powerful example of insurance professionals leading with purpose; to strengthen connections while making a tangible difference in the community we serve,” Shanks says.
She adds that the 2026 ANZIIF South Australian Charity Luncheon reinforces the value of industry coming together not just to connect, but to lead.
Zahra Foundation says events like the ANZIIF South Australian Charity Luncheon demonstrate the power of industry coming together to drive real social change.
“This partnership will enable Zahra Foundation to continue delivering practical support and long-term solutions for women rebuilding their lives after domestic abuse.”
Renowned as South Australia’s largest insurance industry networking event, the luncheon combines a premium three-course dining experience with curated fundraising activities, including a silent auction, creating a setting where relationships and collective impact are amplified.
The refreshed 2026 format underscores ANZIIF’s commitment to delivering high-quality, member-led events that foster connection, knowledge sharing and professional pride, while supporting causes that align with industry responsibility and trust.

- Premium three-course luncheon in a professional, peer-led setting
