NIBA / Representation
Shaping the Agenda NIBA continues to play a central role in influencing public policy and advocating for the interests of the broking profession. In this edition of Shaping the Agenda, we provide an update on NIBA’s latest submissions and engagements with government, regulators, and key stakeholders.
NIBA Takes Its Voice to Canberra NIBA’s leadership team has been actively engaging at the national level, with President Nick Cook and CEO Richard Klipin visiting Canberra during the second week of the 48th Parliament to meet with politicians across the House. Their agenda included discussions with the Minister for Financial Services, Dr Daniel Mulino MP, Shadow Minister Pat Conaghan MP, and the office of Senator David Sharma. The meetings focused on strengthening the role of insurance brokers in supporting households, small businesses, and communities. Conversations with Dr Mulino focused on the Government’s response to the Parliamentary inquiry into insurers’ handling of 2022 flood claims, as well as broader challenges facing the insurance sector, including availability, accessibility, and affordability. The discussions also emphasised the need for simpler and more streamlined regulation, ensuring brokers are empowered to deliver the best outcomes for their clients. These engagements reflect NIBA’s ongoing commitment to advocating for practical, evidence-based solutions that support both consumers and the broking profession.
