A chance for women to reshape life insurance

Through CALI’s ReCALIbrate program, five women will receive a $2000 grant to attend the Financial Advice Association Australia (FAAA) Congress on 27-29 November 2024 in Brisbane.

Congratulations to our 2024 ReCALIbrate recipients

Nicole is passionate about empowering financial planners to help their clients make informed life insurance decisions that safeguard their families’ futures.

Nicole contributes to the financial advice profession as a member of the UNE Course Advisory Board, focusing on life insurance education. She also actively participates in Australian Financial Services Licence committees to enhance life insurance advice delivery and client review programs. 

Janice is a passionate financial planner with more than 14 years’ experience dedicated to empowering young families and professionals, especially women, to achieve financial independence. Janice combines her deep expertise in finance and insurance to guide her clients through life’s complexities with empathy and insight.

She was recently awarded finalist for both Financial Adviser of the Year at the 2024 Women in Finance Awards and the 2024 Victoria Top 100 Asia Innovation Business Leader in Finance.

Nikki believes that the key to successful financial planning lies in building strong relationships with her clients. By gaining a deep understanding of their unique goals, she guides them through various life stages with confidence and clarity.

With a strong background in corporate finance and a decade of crafting strategies that align money with purpose, Rebecca understands that true wealth is about freedom, not just numbers.

As a lifelong advocate for financial equity, she is committed to making financial advice both accessible and transformative. For Rebecca, real success is when clients leverage their finances to create the life they genuinely desire, not just the one they feel they should pursue. 

In 2020, Sam’s life took an unexpected turn when she injured her back. With an income protection policy in place, she was allowed the space to fully focus on her 18-month recovery. During this time, her perspective on life shifted dramatically and with newfound clarity, she established her own business to empower people to make choices that lead to both fulfilment and financial security.

Based in Melbourne, Sam’s greatest strength lies in building meaningful connections with her clients and sharing her financial expertise to help them align their money with their life.

Women in risk advice are important role models in the life insurance industry. They empower their clients, both men and women, to build financial literacy and security.

To ensure that the ReCALIbrate recipients are receiving a benefit of the grant well beyond the event, each recipient will be paired with a senior woman in the life insurance industry to provide a forum for mentorship, learning, support and advice.
