Actuarial professionalism and what it means for you

Actuaries have been trained for real-world impact since 1897.

Today’s actuarial education creates masters of data with the acumen to accelerate its impact in the real world.

Actuaries are bound by a rigorous code of standards and a responsibility to manage for the public good.

You can be guaranteed that an actuary in your team will champion the highest standards in data ethics, while delivering breakthroughs in data science. Using data with great care and responsibility is in the actuarial DNA.

A framework for data ethics in your organisation

Obligated under professional standards to consider the ultimate impact of data strategies, Australia’s actuaries are championing the highest standards of ethics and innovative frameworks for data science.

Maximise the benefits of a data-driven futureAustralia’s corporate and government sectors have a duty to do this as the success of the Nation depends on it.

The intelligent application of data will dramatically increase the quality of goods and services and the efficiency with which they are delivered. This means better, more affordable healthcare and transport, more personalised products and marketing, less waste and reduced environmental impact.

Countries that fully embrace data will be wealthier, create more jobs and attract their fair share of the world’s best talent.

Ensure the benefits of a data-driven future will be fairly sharedBoth governments and the corporate community need to demonstrate and ensure the data revolution does not lead to greater inequalities and that the benefits of data-driven growth are enjoyed by all.

Use data in the interests of the person who share it The data economy is reliant on citizens choosing to share their data. When a person shares their data with any organisation – whether public or private sector – that organisation has a duty to use this data in their best interests.
