AIA Australia (AIA) has formed a managerial team to expand its retail distribution capability.

The new team, formed after Craig Parker took on the role of retail distribution general manager, will support AIA's long-term investment in the financial services industry. It is composed of four regional managers:

  • Clive Staple, South Australia, Western Australia and the Northern Territory;
  • Ian Harpley, Queensland;
  • James Wingate, Victoria and Tasmania; and
  • Evan Miller, New South Wales and Australian Capital Territory.

AIA Australia boosts financial adviser support

AIA overhauled the rest of the retail distribution team, introducing new roles and promoting other members, to support financial advisers more effectively.

“At a time when it is increasingly important for Australians to have access to a high standard of financial advice, AIA Australia is focused on strengthening its support for advisers. We want to help our adviser partners to grow their businesses through providing holistic life, health, and wellbeing advice to their clients,” said AIA chief partnership distribution officer Sam Tremethick.

“We've also been working on some exciting new product and benefit enhancements, which we will share over the coming months, starting with the launch of our new AIA Vitality app, which will make it easier and more appealing than ever before for customers and their advisers to engage with their health and with us.”

AIA, one of the top five life insurance companies in Australia this year, also recently extended its cancer care program to health customers and launched incentives for life insurance customers showing healthy behaviours.
