NIBA / Community
NIBA Expands Regional Program Presence in the ACT revitalised through a special event at the National Press Club.
On a crisp Canberra evening, nearly 100 insurance professionals gathered at the iconic National Press Club for a defining moment in NIBA’s history—the inaugural Canberra Member Update. A new ACT sub-committee has also been formed to strengthen engagement and grow opportunities for the brokers across the country. From the moment the doors opened, the atmosphere was electric. It was more than just an update—it was a celebration of connection, leadership, and the shared commitment
NIBA CEO Richard Klipin opened the evening with a high-level update on the strategic direction of the association, outlining the Board’s current priorities and the broader trends reshaping the insurance landscape. Richard was joined on stage by Leigh Moran, Director at Counsel House, for a compelling fireside chat. With deep insights into government relations and public policy, Leigh unpacked the shifting political landscape, offering an insider’s view on what’s on the government’s agenda and what recent political changes could mean for brokers and their clients. The night continued with a powerhouse panel discussion featuring local industry leaders Helen Bullock, Emily-Rose
Srbinovska, and Karl Truijens. Together with Richard, the panel tackled critical topics including the future of advice, the role of AI, evolving client expectations, and the skills needed to lead through change. What resonated most, though, was the sense of community. This event showcased just how passionate, engaged, and forward-thinking the ACT insurance market has become. To our ACT Committee members, expert speakers, event partners, and everyone who attended—thank you. Your enthusiasm, curiosity and drive for progress are helping shape a stronger, more connected future for insurance in the region.

And this is just the beginning.
