Maathu Ranjan Announced as 2025 Vice President
Maathu Ranjan has been announced as 2025 Vice President of the Actuaries Institute, which means she will be President in 2027.
“It is a prestigious honour to be a Vice President of the Actuaries Institute and to take on the 2027 Presidency. I am excited to be part of the team that helps elevate the profession and meet our new strategic plans. It is a crucial time to embrace the value our profession can bring to broader fields, and I am thrilled to be part of the leadership to support this next phase for the Institute,” Maathu said.
Maathu’s actuarial expertise spans the disability, health and general insurance sectors. She is an award-winning researcher and a recognised leader in the Australian Public Service. Maathu was awarded the prestigious Sir Roland Wilson scholarship and is currently conducting doctoral research at the Australian National University’s Crawford School of Public Policy.
Prior to this, Maathu was a Senior Actuary at the National Disability Insurance Agency, leading the Actuarial Strategic Initiatives team to evaluate key priorities in strategic policy and service delivery. She also previously held actuarial roles with Finity, TAL Insurance, Suncorp Group and the University of New South Wales.
Maathu champions the application of rigorous evidence and actuarial expertise to guide decision-making and policy development. She is an advocate for younger actuaries and believes in multi-disciplinary collaboration to solve complex societal challenges. Her passion for social policy is evident in her doctoral research, which examines the effects of government support systems on outcomes for people with autism and early-onset disability.
Maathu Ranjan and Anthony Lowe authored the Dialogue Paper, Providing better support for children with autism and developmental delay, published by the Actuaries Institute. The Paper argues that community-based programs would improve long-term outcomes for children, better align to the original NDIS design, and help make the Scheme financially sustainable.
The Actuaries Institute Council joins us in congratulating Maathu on her appointment.
