The countdown is on for the industry event of the year: the 2022 Insurance Business Australia Awards! But there’s still plenty of time to register here for all the glitz and glamour at Doltone House in Sydney on September 02.

In 2022, the Insurance Business Australia Awards proudly return as in-person event complete with the pre-awards cocktail reception, red carpet, dinner banquet and awards ceremony – and, of course, live entertainment throughout the evening.

Comedian, actor and presenter Ed Kavalee - a recurring panellist on Network 10's Have You Been Paying Attention? - will be your host. The entertainment includes the Groove Academy’s Party Band, regarded as one of Australia’s most in-demand acts.

This year’s awards event is the fifth annual celebration and follows two years of virtual gatherings. The exciting occasion gives brokers, brokerages, insurers, underwriting agencies, BDMs, service providers and more the chance to be showcased on a national stage, while celebrating with all the glitz and glamour that they deserve.

Last month, after an arduous selection process, Insurance Business announced the 2022 excellence awardees. Click here to see who is shortlisted for each category. This is a shortlist of the top performers in each awards category. A single winner from each shortlisted category will be announced and honoured on the big night.

Previous winners continue to enjoy the limelight and speak favourably of the ongoing benefits of the awards.

“I feel it is the perfect recognition of our staff’s commitment to provide industry leading service and advice to the construction industry,” said Gary Sim, director of CCM Insurance Group and one of the most successful award winners.

This year CCM is an excellence awardee for the Specialist Brokerage of the Year Award, a prize sponsored by CHU Underwriting Agencies. CCM has won this prize for the last three years.

Taylor Burstow, from ShieldCover, won big time at last year’s awards. In 2021, Burstow won both the Australian Young Gun of the Year and the AXA XL Young Gun of the Year International awards.

“Being the Insurance Business Australian Young Gun of the Year and AXA XL’s Young Gun of the Year International remains a pivotal moment in my career,” said Burstow, who is currently head of business development.

He described the recognition from peers and the insurance community as “fantastic”.

Winning at the Insurance Business Australia Awards means joining the ranks of the best and brightest in the insurance industry. Take a look back at the 2021 winners in the official commemorative guide.
