IPA Newsletter October 2025

3 Minutes Read

Welcome to the October 2025 edition of the Industry Partners Australia newsletter.

With another financial year behind us, we are now focused on building events for the balance of the year and into 2026.

Over the past quarter we have seen business confidence continue to drop in Australia (NAB Confidence Index), which for us has resulted in lower attendance numbers for events. This has been driven by the pressures currently on senior leaders to deliver more with less people. Luckily our membership is made up of some of the finest organisations in Australia, who have a strong philosophy of continuing to invest in their people, for that I say Thank you...

We continue to grow our networks with new members and business partners, the latter being the Industry Collective Australia (ICA) has really taken off as we continue to fill in the gaps within our offering. The ICA is an incredible program that is open to anyone looking to find a trusted specialist, trainer or consultant.

We now have close to 4,000 professionals following us on LinkedIn, We have seen a sudden upkick in followers predominantly due to publishing more content than ever before, and ensuring what we are sending out there is both relevant and quality. Join us on LinkedIn and push us over the 4,000 follower mark.

As always between new members, partners and driving incredible events the team continues to be incredibly busy and dedicated, delivering a great product for you to enjoy.
