Year of the Insurance Professional
ANZIIF has launched the Year of the Insurance Professional, an initiative for 2021 which is all about celebrating the success of insurance professionals and raising awareness about the good stories that happen every day in our industry.
Professionalism will be the keynote throughout the year, with each quarter showcasing content and stories from different sectors. Supporting the community when they need it most is at the heart of what we do in insurance. Help us celebrate the success of our insurance professionals by taking part in our initiatives this year.
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
ANZIIF is excited to introduce the “Making a Difference” recognition awards, which highlight individuals who have gone above and beyond to display professionalism in their workplace, and for their customers.
Entries can be self-nominated or you may nominate a colleague or peer who has demonstrated outstanding professionalism, commitment, achievement and passion in the insurance industry.
Your challenge will be to record a short video entry that is compelling and based on evidence that convinces the Judging Panel that you or the nominated individual made the best difference.
Now accepting entries for the sectors below.
Winners will receive one ANZIIF Skills Unit, registration to a 2021 ANZIIF Event* and one year of ANZIIF Membership. You will also receive industry recognition including a feature profile on the ANZIIF website.
To learn more and enter follow the links below to download the criteria and cover sheet. Entries can be made via email to [email protected].
Entries will close at 5pm Friday 7th May (AEST)
We look forward to recognising outstanding insurance professionals in the sectors of Broking, General Insurance and Claims later in the year. Entries for these sectors will open on Tuesday 17th August 2021.
*Complimentary registration excludes the Industry Awards.

ANZIIF WEBINAR ON DEMAND: DESIGN AND DISTRIBUTION OBLIGATIONS
On 3 March, we were joined online by Dallas Booth, CEO of the National Insurance Brokers Association (NIBA) and Annabelle Butler, Regulatory Change at Suncorp who discussed the new Design and Distribution Obligations (DDO). Taking effect from October 2021, DDO applies to both insurers (as product manufacturers) and insurance brokers (as product distributors).
Tune in to this recorded webinar to find out more about the key concepts relevant to insurance brokers. It will cover the key obligations that brokers will need to be aware of and implement within their business operations.
As part of the Year of the Insurance Professional, we're delighted to make this premium content available to the public.
