Welcome to the April edition of Member Matters, keeping you informed of key updates and opportunities at Unimutual.

2025 Unimutual Conference – Wrap-Up and Resources

Thank you to all who joined us at this year’s Unimutual Conference in Adelaide.

The three days offered a chance to hear from an incredible line-up of speakers, including a special keynote address from Chief Executive Officer of Universities Australia, Luke Sheehy, along with renowned environmental scientist, explorer and author, Tim Jarvis.

We were fortunate to hear from triple Paralympic gold medallist, Katrina-Webb-Denis PLY OAM, who shared her insights on aligning purpose, high-performance and human potential to deliver personal, commercial, social and global solutions.

It was also a pleasure to welcome Joseph Hansen from the South Australian Metropolitan Fire Service, who, alongside a panel of experts, explored a key emerging risk for the sector – battery charging and storage.

You can now access the key presentation videos, slides and handouts here via the Member-only section of our website.

We’ve been pleased with the engagement and feedback received on the Conference so far. To help us continue delivering events that meet your needs, we invite you to share your feedback via our Conference Survey. All conference attendees have been sent a link to the survey via email. For your ease, you can access the survey here. Your feedback is invaluable in shaping future Unimutual Conferences.

Member Dashboard – Nominate Your Pro-Licence User

As revealed at our Conference, the new Member Dashboard is being rolled out to provide your organisation with tailored insights into your current protections.

To enable access to the dashboard, each Member organisation is asked to nominate a Pro Licence user. An email has been sent to all Member Representatives with instructions.

If your organisation hasn’t yet nominated a user, we encourage you to do so at your earliest convenience. For any questions, please contact us at [email protected].

Website Access – Set Up Your Login and 2FA

We’re pleased to share that our new website is now live, offering easier access to our resources, tools and updates.

To explore Member-only content – including the new dashboard and Conference materials, please ensure you’ve set up your password and two-factor authentication (2FA). Instructions have been sent via email. Please reach out to [email protected] if you have any questions or are unable to locate the instruction email.

Member Reference Group – Initial Meeting Report

In March, our Member Reference Group held its first meeting, providing valuable feedback and insights to help guide future initiatives. The Member Reference Group Report is available to read and download via our website within the News page of the Member-only section.

The Member Reference Group will be meeting again in June. We welcome additional participation from any Members who would like to join the group. If you’re keen to contribute, please email us at [email protected].

Upcoming Unimutual Introduction Workshops

In May, we will be hosting two online workshops, designed to provide a helpful overview of Unimutual and our protections:

• 7 May 2025 – About Unimutual

These sessions are ideal for new Members or those wanting a refresher. Invitations to register for the sessions have been sent via email. If you have any questions or need help registering, please reach out to us at [email protected]. We hope you’ll join us.
