Insurance Business Australia (IB) has worked with brokers to identify the winners of this year’s Brokers on Insurers special report.

The IB team invited brokers from across Australia to rate the performance of nine insurers they have dealt with in the past 12 months. For each of the 11 categories, the brokers ranked the insurers in order of merit according to an average score calculated from a tally of their ratings.

The top three companies in each category received a gold, silver, or bronze medal. Meanwhile, the insurers’ combined average score from all categories determined the medallists for Insurer of the Year.

BDM support (4.08);
premium stability (4.06);
turnaround time – new business (4.06);
online platforms and services (4.04);
overall service level (4.03); and
product innovation (3.99).

The other categories brokers consider when working with insurers include:

turnaround time – claims (3.91);
product range (3.90);
broker communication, training, and development (3.89);
brand recognition and reputation (3.87); and
commission structure (3.87).
