IPA Newsletter January 2026

Written by Industry Partners Australia | 12 Jan 2026, 11:33 PM

Welcome to the January 2026 edition of the Industry Partners Australia newsletter.

I often reflect at this time of year why we put so much effort into closing off the old year, in some cases to the point of exhaustion. But I guess it gives us a great opportunity to refresh ourselves and come back to face more challenges and opportunities with new energy.Take a moment before you dive down that rabbit hole of day to day activities, and consider how you are going to get the best out of your team this year or even yourself. It is important to set priorities, and remind yourself of them from time to time, almost like a check in mechanism.

The focus for IPA in 2026 will be to continue bringing incredible events for our members and partners to enjoy, so keep in mind, if you have something you wish to explore give us a call, as we are genuinely here to support you and the overall community. We will have a focus on expanding our Industry Collective (ICA) network with new partners coming on board, especially around the people & culture aspect of running an organisation, so check out the ICA Partners on the website.

We certainly start the year with a bang, there are so many great events already loaded in the calendar. Don't miss out, ensure you make time to attend some events in 2026 and get your teams involved in our programs.

Member referrals

 

Being a member of IPA has many benefits, one being the ability to learn from other member companies within our network. We find it extremely rewarding to facilitate these connections and enable this resource.  

If you have any business issues that need to be resolved, remember that other companies have more than likely been through the same challenges and can help point you in the right direction. Please reach out to your IPA contact to see if we know of someone who can potentially help.
