About the Awards

The Australian Insurance Industry Awards celebrate the outstanding achievements of Australian organisations and individuals across the insurance value chain.

The Awards recognise excellence and achievement across life insurance, general insurance, broking, claims, authorised representative networks, underwriting, insurtech, professional services and service providers.

ANZIIF will also celebrate organisations across the insurance value chain that promote diversity and inclusion in the workplace, and environmental, social and governance change.

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

"Together, let's celebrate the extraordinary commitment and passion that enables our industry to thrive – from outstanding customer outcomes and innovative solutions, to future focused people development and inspiring commitment to ESG." — Katrina Shanks, ANZIIF CEO

We are excited to announce that Osher Günsberg, Australian TV and radio host, will be our MC for the Gala event on 22 August.  

For further information please contact the ANZIIF Events team.

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

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.
