Testimonials

Fantastic event. The CRO discussion was particularly insightful. 
Head of risk Great Southern Bank
I really enjoyed some of the panels where there was seniority and different perspectives - e.g. conduct panel was fabulous, as well as the derivatives session.
Senior manager Westpac
The speakers were outstanding - brought a macro perspective to the issues that we face as risk professionals on a daily basis.
Head of compliance National Australia Bank

Key topics at the 2026 conference

Risk Live Australia deepens its focus on how financial institutions are adapting risk frameworks amid regulatory change, technological disruption and evolving market structures. The 2026 programme introduced more targeted discussions, practitioner-led sessions and peer benchmarking — helping leaders translate complexity into practical action.

Regulatory Change & Operational Resilience

Focused discussion on APRA CPS230 and operational resilience requirements, examining how institutions are redesigning governance models, strengthening third-party risk oversight and embedding resilience across business lines.

Technology, Data & AI in Risk

Exploration of how AI/ML, data architecture and modern risk platforms are reshaping modelling, monitoring and decision-making – with practical perspectives on implementation, governance and model risk.

Cyber, Fraud & Operational Risk

Deep dives into fraud prevention, cyber security and operational risk management as digital dependence increases – highlighting emerging threat vectors and the frameworks banks are adopting to improve detection, response and continuity.

Digital Assets & New Approaches to Liquidity Management

Analysis of how digital assets, tokenisation and evolving liquidity tools are influencing treasury operations, collateral management and funding strategies – alongside discussions on managing liquidity risk in a more fragmented and volatile market environment.

  • Regulatory Change & Compliance: Direct exposure to institutions navigating APRA CPS230 and evolving operational resilience requirements – plus broader regulatory shifts impacting governance, risk frameworks and compliance strategy.
  • Technology, Data & AI: Connect with leaders exploring how AI/ML, data governance and modern platforms are transforming risk management, modelling and decision-making.
  • Cyber, Fraud & Operational Risk: Engage with banks and financial institutions tackling rising fraud, cyber threats and operational resilience challenges in an increasingly digital ecosystem.
