Recent Australian data breaches have exposed private and sensitive information of over 14.9 million Australians. Those impacted have had their identity documents compromised including: Medicare ID numbers, driver’s license numbers, Australian andinternational passport numbers and proof of age card numbers. Privacy and data risk is front of mind for trustees, regulators and super fund members alike, and the superannuation industry must work collectively to ensure they have the right frameworks and capabilities to manage these privacy and data risks.

Held on 15 June 2023, our third event in the ‘Risk in Super Series’ featured a keynote from industry expert Athena Efstratiadis, Head of Compliance at REST, and a panel discussion with Deloitte experts Lucy Mannering, Cheryl Cheong and Natalie Reed, covering:

  • An overview of Identity trends and the key considerations to overcome the challenges that will be faced by your fund now and in the future.
