Media Release
The National Insurance Brokers Association (NIBA) announced Zurich as the 2026 Large General Insurer of the Year at the NIBA Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony at RACV Royal Pines Resort on the Gold Coast on Tuesday, 20 October.
NIBA CEO Richard Klipin noted the significance of the awards.
"NIBA is committed to strengthening professional relationships between brokers and insurers. The Insurer Awards are an important platform to benchmark and recognise the insurers that brokers rate most highly," Richard said.
The Large General Insurer of the Year award has been presented for more than two decades. The winner was determined using broker feedback from the NIBA Broker Market Survey, which this year received record responses and feedback from over 1,070 brokers across Australia.
The NIBA Broker Market Survey is delivered in partnership with NielsenIQ. It gives insurers, underwriting agencies and brokers an independent, syndicated view of the general insurance market, helping the sector benchmark performance, identify opportunities and improve outcomes for clients. The research aims to recognise excellence, strengthen the broker-insurer partnership and lift professional standards across the sector.
Richard welcomed brokers' record participation in the survey and congratulated Zurich and the finalists.
"This year, a record of over 1,070 brokers shared their insights through the NIBA Broker Market Survey, which shows the value the sector places on this research. Congratulations to the team at Zurich, and to all the finalists in this category," Richard said.
Angela Carter, Director, Brand and Media, NielsenIQ, said: "Zurich had a strong year, improving on many measures important to brokers, like being responsive, trusted and an insurer that brokers are happy to promote to others."
