Australian Enterprise Awards 2026 | 75 Simon Levy, CEO of RMIA (Risk Management Institute of Australasia) told us that RMIA aims to maintain its position as the leading professional association for risk professionals across Australia, New Zealand and the Asia Pacific. RMIA sets the benchmark for excellence in risk by curating world-class education, recognised risk management certifications and industry-leading events that strengthen decision-making, resilience, and organisational performance. We heard more from Simon Levy, CEO, below as the organisation was recently bestowed with its accolade in 2026’s Australian Enterprise Awards. Serving risk professionals throughout the many stages of their careers, from emerging practitioners to executive leaders, RMIA helps organisations to grow through the support of stronger risk capabilities across sectors. These sectors include private, not-for-profit, and public, but all have the same goal – to solve realworld challenges and manage risk. Offering professional risk management training, RMIA tailors and curates a suite of courses that are suitable for a plethora of clients. With partner-led programs, RMIA helps those from foundational level to executive level to gain CPRA, CPRM, and CCRO credentials that validate their capabilities and keep them at the cutting edge of risk management. “Our aim is simple: help risk professionals and organisations navigate uncertainty and make better decisions by strengthening risk capability, resilience, and professional standards. We want people and organisations to move beyond risk as a compliance requirement, to risk as a practical decision discipline that improves performance.” As an independent, member-led association of professionals, RMIA unites risk education, trusted certification pathways, and an active community across Australasia. Simon added: “We don’t sell consulting or technology; we build capability and confidence in risk management and decision-making.” This is an incredibly successful way of creating more opportunities and avenues for professionals of all stages in their careers. Built on the core values of community, quality and relevance, integrity, transparency, and credibility, RMIA aids individuals to feel confident in their capabilities and their career paths. Furthermore, RMIA responds to trends in its industry by continually providing its clients with the tools needed to be resilient in an ever-evolving sphere, thus bolstering the strength of the industry overall. RMIA caters to risk professionals across the full career spectrum, offering foundational development, advanced practice, executive education and C-suite thought leadership. From early career learning to peer-level executive roundtables, RMIA provides independent training, courses and community that build confidence, credibility and influence at every level. Simon shared: “We convert change into capability by updating our education and certification pathways, curating practical professional learning, and convening the profession through events and community.” Referring to industry changes, even including climate and sustainability reporting, cyber and privacy expectation, and operational resilience, Simon’s words echo the organisation’s mission. We see that the company not only supports people, but it turns industry challenges into opportunities for itself and its network of professionals, no matter how much the sector and environment shifts. In 2026 RMIA is set to expand its practical, job-relevant learning for risk professionals, so they can easily evolve and respond to emerging challenges. Also strengthening its certification pathways to remain relevant, setting clear and superior standards, delivering excellence on its member journey, and adding further capability to its national team, RMIA is “moving strong foundations to sharper execution and measurable impact, with a clear ambition: to lift the quality, consistency and influence of risk practice across the region.” Bestowed with the title of Best Risk Management Professional Organisation for 2026, RMIA stands out as the risk management professional network in Australasia, but also one that is influencing the rest of the global industry as more professionals turn to its team, and impact the corporate landscape. Here’s to the years to come.
