How we work
NIBA Strategy
NIBA is a membership association that works closely with members to define and deliver the organisations vision ‘to empower our members and community within the Insurance Broking Profession’ and purpose of being ‘the unified voice of the insurance broking profession across Australia’.
Delivering the Vision
The NIBA team supports the delivery of the agreed strategy with the President, Vice President and Board of Directors, alongside state and specialist committees focusing on our three strategic pillars of Advocacy, Professionalism and Community.
ADVOCACY
NIBA advocates as the ‘one voice’ of insurance brokers and the insurance broking profession to:
- governments;
- regulators;
- industry stakeholders;
- media; and
- the community.
PROFESSIONALISM
NIBA sets out to develop and promote high standards of professional practice for insurance brokers in Australia through:
- industry relevant education and continuing professional development;
- a membership that subscribes to the Insurance Brokers Code of Practice; and
- a framework for high standards of ethical and professional conduct by Members.
COMMUNITY
NIBA has an engaged community. Through various events and initiatives throughoutthe year, NIBA aims to:
- provide Members with opportunities to meet, share, learn, grow and prosper;
- promote the role and value of insurance brokers to the community; and
- promote insurance broking as a profession of choice.
NIBA Committees
Our Committees play a vital role to engage with members and state communities, serving as a trusted source of insight to the NIBA Board and driving community connection.
Through their leadership, we are able to deliver impactful educational and networking opportunities that support the professional growth of our members. Whether it’s coordinating events, contributing to training programs, or facilitating connections between brokers and the broader industry, our Committees work to strengthen networks and reinforce the value of the profession.
