About the Awards

The Australian Insurance Industry Awards celebrate the outstanding achievements of individuals and businesses across the Australian insurance industry. The Awards recognise excellence, innovation and success, while fostering a strong sense of community and connection within the sector.

This year there are 15 categories, with the criteria reflecting a greater focus on the importance of the customer, ethical standards and vulnerability.

Categories acknowledge achievements across general insurance, life insurance, broking, claims, underwriting, insurtech, authorised representative networks, professional services, and service providers.

Individuals will be recognised across three prestigious categories that celebrate outstanding contributions, leadership, passion, and dedication to professionalism.

“The Awards provide a valuable opportunity for individuals and businesses to gain recognition for their contributions to the industry. They encourage us to continue pursuing excellence, innovation and customer satisfaction" - Katrina Shanks, CEO ANZIIF

The Australian Insurance Industry Awards were founded by co-partners Asia Insurance Review (AIR) and ANZIIF.

For further information, please contact us.

Submissions are now closed.

Judging

The Awards are decided by an esteemed panel of industry judges who read and score each submission individually and vote under the supervision of an independent auditor.

Judges are bound by confidentiality agreements and recuse themselves when a potential conflict arises. At no time are judges who have identified a conflict allowed to read or deliberate on a submission.

The judging panel is overseen by a presiding judge and an external auditor is present at the judging day when the judges convene.

We recognise and understand the sensitive nature of the information provided in your submission. With this in mind, there are systems in place to ensure confidentiality at every stage of the judging process.

Thank you to our sponsors
