Ozwater Water Leaders Forum 2026
The Water Leaders Forum is a C-Suite invite only session that brings together 150 leaders and partners from across the Australian Water Association (AWA) network.
Today’s Decisions for Tomorrow – Intergenerational Equity
How can today’s leaders ensure the water sector leaves a stronger, fairer legacy for the generations that follow? This year’s Water Leaders Forum invites leaders to pause, reflect, and examine the long-term equity implications of our decisions. Grounded in the theme of intergenerational fairness, the session blends storytelling, provocation, and collaborative discussion to surface the values that guide our sector. Together, we will explore how to cultivate a future-ready workforce, ensure sustainable funding, and resilient solutions that honours both current and future communities. Your insights will contribute directly to AWA’s Strategy 2030 and help define the outcomes we want future generations to inherit.

Ozwater Directors Forum 2026
The Directors Forum is a C-Suite invite only session that brings together board directors from across the Australian Water Association (AWA)’s network.
The Water Transition: Governing Risk, Productivity, and Resilience
Australia’s water sector is entering its own transition – from resilience investment to affordability pressures, from aging assets to climate shocks, from risk aversion to risk‑enabled transformation. This Directors Forum will explore how boards must recalibrate their risk appetite to steward the sector through this transition. Drawing lessons from energy, finance, and community expectations, directors will engage in structured discussions to shape the governance models needed for a sustainable water future.
