Ansvar’s 2018 Education Forum “Protecting Vulnerable People” provided enormous insight for brokers and clients as insurance moves from simple “risk transfer” to “greater risk awareness”.

Cassandra Heilbronn, Senior Associate at MinterEllison, who attended the Melbourne forum said it was “one of the best insurance events I have attended from a content perspective.”

The forums, conducted in five states in August, drew 250 industry participants.
The topic: “Protecting Vulnerable People in the changing risk and governance landscape” proved a great industry drawcard and due to the overwhelmingly positive feedback Ansvar are delighted to announce 2 additional broker forums with the same topic and key learnings, taking place this year, in Hobart and Canberra, with attendees earning 3 CIP points.

The FREE half-day forums are designed to help brokers identify today’s set of risks and how to deal with them to strengthen governance. So register NOW to attend our Hobart or Canberra forums!

Organisations are telling us that they want to tighten the focus on risk management so that it becomes an integral part of how they make decisions, prevents harms and optimises outcomes.
Providing services to vulnerable people requires a unique way of considering risk and governance. Brokers play an important role in assisting clients with their journey to improve risk management and we encourage you to attend our forums to learn how you can support your clients by helping them to strengthen their risk management.

You told us – Education Forums a Great Success

ANSVAR’s recent educational forums have been voted an overwhelming success – by you the attendees!

“Thank you to everyone that attended and for your valuable feedback, and a big thank you to the Ansvar team for producing a series of professional forums” said Warren Hutcheon CEO Ansvar.

The forums, conducted in five states in August, drew 250 industry participants.

The topic: “Protecting Vulnerable People in the changing risk and governance landscape” proved a great industry drawcard.

The FREE half-day forums, hosted by Ansvar’s expert risk management team, were designed to help brokers and clients identify today’s set of risks and how to deal with them to strengthen governance.

A feedback survey we conducted afterwards showed a whopping 96 % of participants took away a “good” to “excellent” understanding of Ansvar’s Risk Management Solutions.

A slightly higher 98% said they would encourage others to attend future Ansvar Forums.

Here are some of your comments:

“This was by far the BEST Ansvar presentation/forum I have ever attended. All the speakers were of quality nature and topics were relevant, clear and concise. It is clear a lot of prep work went into this forum, well done team!”

“Good balance of technical and concept. Kept my interest the entire time. Excellent!”

“Great to see the proactive approach that Ansvar is taking in educating its clients”.

“Very good insight into the risks associated with the aged care industry in particular”.

A pleasing aspect for Ansvar included summaries from participants as to why they attended.

One respondent made it clear the forum topic was front and centre: “I am in a position where I am personally living and breathing Childcare and Aged Care. If I want to look at targeting new business, I need to first understand the risk”.

Yet another said it was because of “Ansvar’s approach to technology and innovative solutions for risk management, not only for their clients but for all clients”.

Ansvar is Australia’s leading risk and insurance provider for the Care, Faith, Community, Education and Heritage sectors. Every year we host education forums dealing with current issues in the insurance market.

If you are a broker or from an organisation in our specialist sectors, our expert risk managers can help you tighten the focus on risk management.

We want to thank all participants who attended the 2018 Education Forums and those who helped with our survey on its impact.

We now have some excellent feedback for future Forum Topics!  Thank you.

We are now inviting applications from worthy not-for-profit organisations for grants of up to $50,000 from Ansvar’s annual $250,000 Community Educations Program (CEP).

THE CEP grants support sustainable programs for Australians under the age of 25, promoting on-going education and skills to make a significant improvement to the lives of participants.

Ansvar chief executive Warren Hutcheon said the CEP grants were purposely focused on helping the young.

“We want to provide valuable support to improve and enrich the lives of young people so they may be able to contribute positively to the community in which we all live.”

Since the grants were first awarded in 1994, Ansvar has contributed more than $10 million to education and life skills programs reaching thousands of young people across Australia.

Applicants need to show that their programs support Australian youth in one of two categories:

– Empowerment and Education, or
– Outreach and Support

Applications can be made by going to: www.ansvar.com.au/community-education-program

Applications close on Monday 15 October 2018.

Many Australian not-for-profit organisations, big and small, have received grants over the years to help fund or fully fund their projects.

WA’s Ocean Heroes Surf Safety Program for autism sufferers was able to fund a van for its 2018 program, pictured with our WA State Manager Grant Bowen.

“This grant will provide Ocean Heroes with a set of wheels, allowing us to become a more mobile unit and completely self-sufficient,” said Ocean Heroes co-founder Sam Moyle.
“It gives that helping hand to grow as a charity, allowing us to host more regional events throughout Western Australia.”

Hunter Life Education in Newcastle is providing an education program for 1800 students thanks to their 2018 Ansvar Grant.

“The funding from ANSVAR will allow us to deliver a specialised program to students who are most at risk,” said Hunter Life Education Executive Officer Sarah Gray.
“This aligns perfectly with our objectives of providing learning modules in partnership with schools to give students the best life education advice possible.”

Ansvar 2018 Education Forum shaping as “The Best Yet”

Rear view of a businessman raising his hand to ask the question on a seminar with large group of his colleagues.
Rear view of a businessman raising his hand to ask the question on a seminar with large group of his colleagues.

Testimonials from brokers and industry clients agree:

Ansvar’s 2018 Education Forum “Protecting Vulnerable People” is providing enormous insight for brokers and clients as insurance moves from simple “risk transfer” to “greater risk awareness”.

Cassandra Heilbronn, Senior Associate at MinterEllison, who attended the Melbourne forum said it was “one of the best insurance events I have attended from a content perspective.”

Feedback from Sydney was also very positive with one broker commenting “Fantastic forum ….it was great to learn more about how governance and risk management can be enhanced and see first-hand some of the valuable risk tools and services you can offer!”

With four highly successful forums in Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide just completed, there is one to go – in Perth on Wednesday 15 August.

The FREE half-day forums are designed to help brokers and clients identify today’s set of risks and how to deal with them to strengthen governance. So register NOW!

Ansvar’s risk management expert Anthony Black pulls no punches when he describes the threats confronting the specialised sectors, many which provide essential services to vulnerable people in the new world of demographic changes, chronic diseases, increasing regulation, cyber environment and institutional governance failure.

“We can’t afford our clients to be operating in the space of just hitting the panic button,” he tells attendees. “We need to support them to go beyond that.”

Black asks brokers to consider the conversations they are having with their clients around risk – were they solely addressing issues that were present right now, or were they working to identify risks that are looming on the horizon?

He then goes on to reveal what’s on the horizon, the importance of good governance and effective risk management and how Ansvar is developing insurance solutions to deal with 21st century risk.

Another of Ansvar’s risk management experts, Adriaan den Dulk, entertains the attendees with a history lesson on the development of governance through four revolutions; Discovery of the America’s & East, French Revolution, Industrial & Energy and Information Technology.

Feedback was again very positive from some attendees saying the forum was “very interesting, love the history lesson” and “Excellent event – sufficient time, good networking and presenters were informative and entertaining”.

Ansvar is Australia’s leading risk and insurance provider for the Care, Faith, Community, Education and Heritage sectors. Every year we host education forums dealing with current issues in the insurance market.

If you are a broker or from an organisation in our specialist sectors, our expert panellists can help you tighten the focus on risk management.

Meet Adriaan den Dulk, Ansvar Risk’s new Senior Risk Solutions Consultant

Close-up Of Wooden Blocks With Risk Word In Front Of Businessperson's Hand Holding Magnifying Glass
Close-up Of Wooden Blocks With Risk Word In Front Of Businessperson's Hand Holding Magnifying Glass

Adriaan joins fellow Senior Risk Consultant Anthony Black in Diana Borgmeyer’s team in helping to spread the word about Ansvar’s Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) practices and framework.

The South African-born governance expert brings over 21 years of experience in the insurance broking industry to our specialist for-benefit insurance organisation.

For the last two years he has provided specialist advice on governance to boards.

And for 15 years Adriaan has been a part-time lecturer to the Australian Institute of Company Directors, focusing on strategy and risk.

Adriaan believes we are now entering a hardening market.

“For example, with Directors and officers insurance, in some cases premiums have trebled. The claims coming down the line are is in excess of $1.5 billion, but the premium pool is less than $300 million,” Adriaan says.

He says the dramatic rise in class actions are against directors is a major challenge.

Another big challenge is to provide support to both the government and the for-benefit sector in the roll-out of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS).

“Risk management is not about risk avoidance, it’s about grasping risk, embracing it but managing it effectively and conscientiously and with great responsibility.

“I use the Bradman analogy: ‘High performance but with great care and diligence’.

“We in the for-benefit sector have a duty to those who are dependent on us to manage their scarce resources as effectively and efficiently as possible.

“Experience has shown organisations that have good governance standards enjoy higher performance outcomes.”

Adriaan believes Australia leads the way in setting those governance standards.

“The Australian standard of risk management has now morphed into the international standard,” he says.

“The Australian standard of governance is arguably the best available – because it is principle based as opposed to the prescriptive approach followed in the US (Sarbanes-Oxley) .”

Using those principles, Adriaan believes he and the Ansvar risk team are best placed to help the for-benefit sector navigate the enterprise risk management challenges ahead.

Mount Gambier Forum: Managing Risk and Maximising Opportunities

TOPIC: Managing Risk and Maximising Opportunities – Challenging the way we have thought about risk management in the Aged Care Sector

Too often we think about risk as mere compliance. Focused on what might go wrong, and not on what must go right.

Ansvar recently hosted a forum targeted at aged care providers in Mount Gambier, South Australia, where Ansvar Specialists discussed ‘Managing Risk and Maximising Opportunities – Challenging the way we have thought about risk management in the Aged Care Sector’.

The session challenged aged care providers to refocus their risk management; in times of greater complexity and uncertainty, traditional approaches are no longer adequate.

-Be part of new thinking and approaches with risk;
-Explore its important role in governance and leadership and in the context of aged care
-Share experiences and take away improvement opportunities.

Ansvar speakers who conducted the forum were Anthony Black, Risk Solutions Consultant and Nick Henley, SA/NT State Manager.

-Anthony is a passionate advocate of the value of risk management in good governance and achieving objectives. As a former nurse and health service executive, he understands the challenges and uncertainties of managing complex services particularly in the aged care sector where he has held management roles.

Anthony takes a practical and tailored approach to risk management; designed to shift focus from traditional methods to more strategic thinking and approaches.

-Nick is a senior insurance professional, who brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to the role with over 25 years in the industry having previously worked for Allianz, Lumley, and QBE – UAA together with various broking roles.

Participants shared experiences with risk management and ways they approached risk management in their organisations. The reasons to rethink and improve risk management were presented and discussed. The current risk environment for Aged Services was identified and thoughts shared about the “next big things coming” and the importance of risk management with dealing with these.

There was strong interest in how to lift risk management to a more strategic level and how to change risk cultures, so that risk management becomes more proactive, future orientated and linked to organisational objectives.

Four areas of focus to improve risk management for aged services were presented and participants identified opportunities to improve their own organisation’s risk management framework.

We received very positive feedback from the attendees and we plan on conducting similar forums in regional areas throughout the year.
If you would like to discuss any of the items mentioned and possibly arrange a consultation or workshop please do so on: Anthony Black ablack@ansvarrisk.com.au or Nick Henley nhenley@ansvar.com.au

Meet Anthony Black, Ansvar Risk’s new Senior Risk Solutions Consultant.

As the newest member of the Ansvar Risk team, Anthony will lead the use of Enterprise Risk Management (ERM) practices and frameworks for Ansvar’s specialist customer sectors.

He’ll work with customers to ensure that their risk management adds value through building risk awareness and capability, improving performance and assisting organisations in achieving their objectives.

Anthony spent the last six years as a senior risk adviser in the health, education and community health areas within the Victorian State Government.

Before that, he spent 10 years in health services management. Anthony started his career as a nurse – so he understands the challenges associated with running complex health services from top to toe!

“Risk management has always been fundamental in my career. As a nurse it was part of the everyday, and as leader it was both part of the everyday and longer-term. I understand and appreciate the challenges of providing services, and I want to bring my experiences and knowledge to the table to support organisations with the work they do,” Anthony says.

“In my experience, organisations often do not maximise the effectiveness of risk management, nor link it strongly to achieving strategic objectives. Not from a lack of trying, but often because the risk framework is compliance oriented, cumbersome and focused on incidents and issues.

“Ansvar Risk’s frameworks are focused around social and human considerations, and is purpose and goal focused. Our enterprise risk management practises are an enabler; a framework that, when implemented well, helps organisations make better decisions and be more resilient. It encourages boards and management to consider both their internal and external vulnerabilities, and appropriately assess risk.”

Anthony has identified four events which are game changers for the care sector in assessing risk this year.

They are:

-The new National Standards for Childcare
-The Royal Commission into the Institutional Response to Historical Child Sex Abuse
-The development of the new Age Care Quality and Safety Commission, and
-The National Disability Insurance Scheme

“These represent four enormous contextual changes for our sector,” says Anthony.

“It means that people responsible for making decisions have to give consideration to the uncertainty that arises as a consequence of these four significant developments.

“This is where risk management becomes an essential component of the governance tool kit.

“I’m keen for our customers to know that understanding their risks saves time and resources and directs effort towards what’s important. Knowing your risk helps draw attention to what specific actions need to take place to achieve objectives and challenges the old ‘we have always done it that way’ attitude.

“I think what sets Ansvar Risk apart is that we view ERM as a team effort. I enjoy working in and with teams, so we consult with people from across an organisation to really understand and assess risks. I believe that everyone has something valuable to contribute and diversity of ideas should be embraced.

“Bringing people together encourages new ways of thinking, drives innovation and improvement. This supports our customers to properly scrutinise risks against strategic objectives, make sound decisions, optimise performance and make organisations more resilient.”
