About the Webinar
Join us for a conversation with Jane Couchman as we explore how Aware Super is evolving its approach to risk—shifting from traditional frameworks to more dynamic, forward-looking models that better reflect today’s fast-changing environment.
Jane has played a key role in shaping the fund’s risk and strategy direction. In this session, she’ll share how Aware Super is rethinking the way it understands, manages, and communicates risk across the organisation.
This is a chance to get a behind-the-scenes look at how one of Australia’s largest super funds is adapting to complexity and change. Whether you work in risk, strategy, or leadership, you’ll take away practical insights and a fresh perspective on the future of risk in financial services.
