The Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance (ANZIIF) has announced the launch of its new Industry Connect Series, a national event program designed to help insurance professionals stay informed on the code, regulatory and legislative developments shaping the sector in 2026 and beyond.

Delivered across five locations in October and November, Industry Connect will bring together professionals from across claims, broking, underwriting, risk, compliance, operations and customer service for a practical update on the key changes influencing the future of insurance.

The two-hour interactive sessions will combine expert-led industry intelligence with dedicated networking time, offering attendees an opportunity to strengthen their professional connections while gaining a clearer understanding of the issues likely to affect their roles, organisations and customers.

The program will feature updates on major industry code reviews currently underway across life insurance, insurance broking and general insurance, including a deeper discussion of the proposed General Insurance Code of Practice and the practical implications for insurers, brokers and insurance professionals.

ANZIIF is delighted to announce that Sparke Helmore Lawyers will join the event series to deliver a forward-looking update on the regulatory and legislative developments expected to influence insurance in 2026 and beyond, highlighting the emerging issues and reforms most relevant to today’s insurance professionals.

Katrina Shanks, CEO of ANZIIF said Industry Connect reflects ANZIIF’s role in supporting insurance professionals to navigate a period of continued change.

“Insurance professionals are operating in an increasingly complex environment, with code reviews, regulatory reform and legislative change creating new expectations for the sector. Industry Connect is designed to give professionals a clear, practical and timely understanding of the changes ahead, while also creating space for meaningful industry connection.”
