On Friday night, hundreds of industry professionals gathered for the Insurance Business Australia Awards 2025. During a gala dinner at The Hilton Hotel in Sydney, the industry’s finest were celebrated. The award winners are now revealed.
The awards acknowledge the hard work of the industry’s best across 21 categories. The categories include Small Brokerage of the Year, Authorised Representative of the Year, Insurer of the Year, Woman of Distinction and many more.
Professionals representing brokerages, insurers, underwriters and other industry stakeholders enjoyed all the fun and glamour of this eighth annual staging of the event.
The night included a cocktail reception, banquet dinner, live entertainment and, of course, the awards presentations.
The event’s master of ceremonies was television personality and standup comedian Dave Hughes. Modern Vintage Music provided the evening’s musical accompaniment.
The celebration belonged to the awards finalists or excellence awardees – all of them stand-outs in their chosen field of insurance specialisation. But the judges could only select one winner from each category.
Here is a full list of the night’s winners. The names of the final victors will also be published on the Insurance Business Awards website.
