The Insurance Council of Australia (ICA) has appointed Tara Page, chief executive of RAA Insurance, as a non-executive director on its board.
Page brings with her a wealth of experience, having held senior leadership positions in both the insurance and legal domains.
Before taking the reins at RAA, Page held the role of chief governance and risk officer and company secretary for the RAA Group. In this capacity, she navigated the evolving regulatory and risk landscape for one of South Australia’s most prominent insurers.
Prior to her tenure with RAA, Page served as a partner at a leading national law firm, specialising in corporate law, financial services, and mergers and acquisitions.
Active engagement in industry governance characterises Page's professional history, including a six-year tenure as a member of the Takeovers Panel. She holds a bachelor of laws (with honours) and a bachelor of health sciences from the University of Adelaide. She also holds a graduate diploma in applied finance and investment and is a graduate of the Australian Institute of Company Directors.
Beyond her professional pursuits, Page is involved in the sporting arena, currently holding a position on the board of the Port Adelaide Football Club.
“I am pleased to welcome Tara to the ICA board,” said ICA president Nick Hawkins. “Her leadership experience, deep understanding of the insurance industry, and strong governance expertise will be assets to the board.
“Tara's local knowledge and demonstrated commitment to community engagement will be a welcome addition to the board as we look to navigate the challenges of insurance affordability, risk mitigation, and regulatory changes ahead for the insurance industry.”
In other news, the ICA is calling on the government to allocate a sustained annual fund of $250 million to boost flood risk resilience.
