A fire, a flood, a burst pipe at 2am. RCC National shows up for the worst day of someone's year.

At the UAC 2026 Adelaide Market Exchange, Grant talked us through RCC National's end-to-end building claim service, emergency response through to repair, reinstatement and rebuild, run through RCC National and restoration arm Blue Bay across 20 locations nationally.

55 years family-owned, and the process still comes back to the same thing: accurate scopes, tailored project management, and sensitive customer care for people going through an insurable event.

For Grant, that's exactly why UAC Market Exchanges matter, a chance to meet brokers face to face and talk through how RCC National supports their clients when it counts.

We'll be continuing those conversations at the UAC 2026 Hobart Market Exchange, 15 September at Hotel Grand Chancellor.

Care, education and community service providers work with vulnerable people every day, and the risks that come with it are not always covered by a standard policy.

Join Suzanne Connors, Director and Underwriter at Precision Underwriting, for a practical session on Safeguard Insurance and how to tailor cover for clients in this essential sector.

The webinar will explore the unique risks of working with vulnerable people, the claims most often seen, common coverage gaps, and the practical support available to clients.

"Hello, let's talk." - That's not a script, it's an invitation. High Street Underwriting calls it "Shockingly Human Service," No portal required.

At the UAC 2026 Adelaide Market Exchange, Kyla talked us through how far the agency's appetite has grown, from trades and mining to property and financial lines, while the hard-to-place expertise that built the name stays intact.

Her message for brokers: the online portal runs the full policy lifecycle, but it's not a replacement for the relationship. Jump on the phone. Have the conversation.

We'll be continuing those conversations at the UAC 2026 Hobart Market Exchange, 15 September at Hotel Grand Chancellor.

Learning to lead in real time.

As the cohort looks ahead to Module 6, the final module of the program, we revisit Jessica Blachura's reflections on the impact already taking shape in the UAC Leadership Academy.

Since starting the program, Jessica has moved from National Sales, Distribution & Portfolio Manager to Deputy Head of Farm & Regional, and now Executive Director of Farm & Regional at 360. Each step up has come with the chance to take what she's learnt in the classroom straight into her new environment the very next day, from pricing and team structure to how she approaches difficult conversations.

She also shares what has surprised her most: the commonality across the cohort. Different businesses, different leadership styles, but the same day-to-day challenges, and the reassurance of realising she isn't navigating them alone.

The UAC Leadership Academy - Class of '26 is proudly supported by HDI Global SE as Program Sponsor.

"Care" isn't a slogan for NeedCover Group. It's the model.

At the UAC 2026 Adelaide Market Exchange, we caught up with Ben and Carissa from NeedCover Group, an AR network built around one question: what kind of support does the broker actually want?

Not just systems and technology. Personalised support for brokers at every stage of their career, because no two brokers operate the same way.

For Ben and Carissa, that support starts face to face. Relationships with brokers, underwriters and industry professionals give brokers the 360 support they need. It's exactly why we bring the industry together at Market Exchange.

We'll be continuing those conversations at the UAC 2026 Hobart Market Exchange, 15 September at Hotel Grand Chancellor.
