Based in
Melbourne, Adrian Hunter is a partner at RSM Australia in the Melbourne Restructuring & Recovery division.
With more than 30 years of experience in the insolvency and restructuring profession, Adrian is recognised for his deep technical expertise, measured and pragmatic approach, and ability to guide clients through high-stress and high-stakes financial situations. Having worked across firms of all sizes—from small partnerships to international firms—Adrian brings a balanced commercial perspective and an empathetic mindset to every engagement.
Adrian specialises in supporting both businesses and individuals facing financial distress or requiring formal insolvency solutions. His comprehensive knowledge of the Corporations Act, combined with a commercial lens, allows him to offer practical, strategic advice that is tailored to each client’s unique circumstances. Whether delivering a voluntary administration, implementing a safe harbour strategy, managing a business liquidation, or supporting a personal insolvency matter, Adrian focuses on outcomes that are not just technically sound but also emotionally and financially restorative for his clients.
Adrian is a Registered Liquidator and has led a number of successful engagements under the government’s Small Business Restructuring (SBR) regime, helping businesses avoid formal insolvency and retain control.
When Adrian isn’t helping businesses reset and recover, he turns his focus to the racetrack. He and his three (now adult) children share a passion for club motorsport. They regularly participate in track days and time trials, often racing the same car together in friendly but fiercely competitive sessions. It’s a hobby that keeps them outdoors, connected, and engaged in a shared pursuit. Adrian is also an avid online gamer, which he finds is a great way to relax and connect with friends when not out on the road or the track.
Adrian joined the ARITA National Board as the Vic/Tas representative at the 2026 AGM. He joined ARITA's Vic/Tas Division Committee in 2017 and is the current Chair of that Division.
