Details of the TAL Risk Academy’s 2026 program featuring more than 75 courses have been released.
New this year is the client experience stream, designed for advisers, paraplanners and support staff, with practical tools, guidance and strategies for meeting clients’ insurance needs.
Jason Bamford, TAL Risk Academy National Manager, said: “This year’s program reflects adviser feedback and the practical needs of advice businesses from administrative staff to those navigating the professional year.

“We’ve built content that supports day-to-day confidence – from insurance fundamentals and technical deep dives, through to client experience, technology, ethics, tax, and cyber.
“With a mix of masterclasses, workshops, webinars and on-demand learning, advisers can go deep where they need to, or dip in when time allows. It’s flexible, practical and designed to fit how advice businesses really operate.”
The 2026 program spans six streams:
- Foundations
- Professional Year
- Advice
- Business Management
- Working with TAL
- Client Experience stream
Highlights of the first half of the 2026 calendar include three dedicated focus months:
- March – AI: Refreshing advisers’ approach to technology with business tools and practical ways to use AI technology
- May – Ethics: Returning with new case studies and practical guidance
- June – Tax: Supporting tax (financial) advice CPD requirements through insurance-focused learning
The majority of TAL Risk Academy courses are free, with proceeds from paid masterclasses donated to the Australian Business Community Network that supports educational opportunities for young Australians.
