A New Era: Reshaping the Future of Super & Retirement – Employer Events 2025

In today’s complex environment, Australians are facing greater financial pressures than ever before – rising living costs, longer lifespans, shifting regulations, and increasing expectations for personalised, digital-first retirement solutions. Now more than ever, employers play a critical role in helping their people navigate these challenges and achieve long-term financial wellbeing.

That’s why we’re stepping forward – refreshed, reimagined and ready to lead. With over 130 years of heritage, we’re evolving in an effort to meet and exceed the needs of you and your employees.

Last month, we proudly hosted Employer Events in Melbourne and Sydney, unveiling MLC’s refreshed brand and vision for superannuation and retirement across all four of our super brands. These events marked a pivotal moment in our transformation journey, reinforcing our commitment to helping members achieve stronger retirement outcomes.

Event Highlights:

• Dave Woodall, CEO Superannuation, Insignia Financial Limited, opened each session by reaffirming the strength and trust of the MLC brand and the opportunities our reinvestment unlocks across our super fund family – MLC, Plum, ANZ Smart Choice Super and IOOF.
• Renee Howie, Chief Customer Officer, Insignia Financial Limited, demonstrated how data and digital capabilities are driving smarter member engagement, enabling “next best conversations” at scale.
• Ashton Jones, Director, Customer Innovation and Andrew Howard, Executive Director, Strategy & Innovation, Insignia Financial Limited, explored our continued focus on retirement innovation, connecting employers to our broader purpose: helping Australians feel confident, connected and in control of their financial future.
• Dan Farmer, Chief Investment Officer, Insignia Financial Limited, delivered a comprehensive economic and market update, providing valuable insights for employers navigating today’s financial landscape.

With over 200 attendees, the events brought together a dynamic mix of employers, advisers, consultants and media.

Together, we explored the reinvestment in our brand, technology and advice ecosystem — all part of our 2030 Vision to deliver more personalised, connected and confident member experiences, as shared by senior leaders from Insignia Financial.
