ICA Board names Suncorp’s CEO Steve Johnston as Chair

The Insurance Council of Australia (ICA) has appointed Steve Johnston, Suncorp’s Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, as Chair of the ICA Board, effective January 1st, 2025.

Johnston joined the ICA Board as a Director in August 2021, and succeeds Nick Hawkins, IAG Managing Director and CEO, who has served as President of the ICA Board for the past two years.

The Board chose to rename its head from President to Chair at its most recent meeting.

Hawkins commented, “I wish to thank the Board of the Insurance Council of Australia for their support during my tenure as President. Over the past two years, the insurance industry and its customers have faced many challenges, including Australia’s costliest floods.

“Over this time, the industry has worked hard to adapt and improve, to ensure our customers communities across Australia remain resilient and have the support they need. I am certain that the Board is in capable hands with Steve leading the way in 2025, and I congratulate him on the appointment as Chair.”

Johnston concluded, “I would like to express my appreciation to Nick Hawkins for his leadership, dedication and hard work over the past two years as President of the ICA Board.

“Moving forward, I am confident that, alongside my fellow board members, ICA CEO Andrew Hall and the ICA team, we can continue to build strong partnerships with governments, communities, and regulators to address the protection gap and ensure the strength and sustainability of our sector for the benefit of our customers and the community.”
