 Hi There

 

Last week was crazy! We had a fantastic turnout for our PDS Manager Roundtable with guest speaker Craig Parrish from Maurice Blackburn discussing The PDS Trap - what legal cases reveal about disclosure gone wrong - needless to say a very interesting presentation. 

 

And we also had a fabulous CREW Webinar on The Three Lines of Assurance with guest speakers Nicole Oborne OAM (PwC), Norlena Brouwer GAICD (Aware) and Rhiannon Richardson (HESTA) - once again a great turnout with lots of very relevant discussion. 

 

All the latest news, views and events below - plus a reminder to listen in to the latest episode of That Super Show. 

 

Regards

Sarah

THATSUPER.SHOW 

In the latest episode of That Super Show Sarah and Neil put complaints under the microscope with AFCA’s lead ombudsman for superannuation, Heather Gray. Is member feedback a blessing or a reputation nightmare? They dive into complaint trends, service snafus and why communication remains the bedrock (or Achilles’ heel) of member trust. Tune in for sharp insights and the inside scoop on what’s really driving complaints - and how forward-thinking leaders can harness them for better member experiences.
