Bridget Browne

Bridget Browne serves as a Senior Lecturer in Actuarial Studies at the Research School of Finance, Actuarial Studies and Statistics within the College of Business and Economics at the Australian National University. A former Partner at Ernst & Young, she maintains dual fellowships with the Institute of Actuaries of Australia and the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries while holding Chartered Enterprise Risk Actuary status.

Her academic credentials include a Bachelor of Economics and Graduate Certificate in Higher Education, complemented by professional designations:

• Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries of Australia (FIAA)
• Fellow of the Institute and Faculty of Actuaries (FIA)
• Chartered Enterprise Risk Actuary (CERA)

Research focuses on critical intersections of actuarial science and societal challenges, particularly Long Term Care Insurance, pandemic-risk Insurance-Linked Securities, and mortality-longevity modeling using large administrative datasets. Her work emphasizes practical enterprise risk management applications and Australian citizen outcomes through longitudinal data analysis, with special attention to aged care systems and disability prevalence.

Publication trends reveal dual trajectories: methodological advances in mortality/disability modeling (2019-2016) and innovative educational research on enterprise risk management pedagogy (2017), demonstrating cross-disciplinary integration of actuarial science with public health and higher education.

Major research initiatives include:

• "Developing a transition matrix by age and sex from the extended Pathways in Aged Care dataset" (2015-2017)
• "Long Term Care Insurance: A Survey of Insurer Attitudes" (2012-2013)

While lab affiliations aren't specified, her projects indicate active collaboration with Australian government agencies and industry stakeholders on data-driven actuarial solutions for aged care policy and insurance market analysis.
