Gala Awards Night
The ANZIIF Australian Insurance Industry Awards celebrate the individuals and organisations driving excellence across the Australian insurance sector. As one of the industry’s most respected recognition programs, the Awards highlight innovation, professionalism and leadership while fostering a strong sense of community and connection across the profession.
This year’s Awards are set to reach a whole new level. For the first time, the event will be hosted at the iconic International Convention Centre Sydney, providing a world-class stage for the industry’s night of nights. With refreshed award categories, an enhanced event experience, and an even more dynamic program, the 2026 celebration promises to be bigger, bolder and better than ever before.
Building on the incredible success of last year, this year’s Awards will deliver an elevated evening that truly reflects the innovation, excellence and impact of the insurance industry.
The Australian Insurance Industry Awards were founded by co-partners Asia Insurance Review (AIR) and ANZIIF.

Award Submissions
Submissions are 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.
