The
Association was established in Canberra in 1989 as the
Australian Multi-Agents Association, changing its name
to the Insurance Agents Association of Australia in 1990
and subsequently to the Insurance Advisers Association
of Australia in 2001, to represent the interests of Insurance
Advisers throughout Australia.
IAAA members are required
to:
- practice the highest principles
of business ethics in all aspects of their business
relationships with their clients, insurers, members
of the public and insurance industry in a manner that
enhances the image of the insurance professional.
- be conversant with and
act in accordance with the duties and obligations
imposed by the Financial Services Reform Act 2001
and other relevant insurance and consumer legislation
and Codes of Practice
The Association has a proud history of support for its
Members, providing technical assistance, regular State
meetings and successful annual National Conferences, both
forums providing many first class guest speakers on topics
relevant to our industry.
We maintain close working relationships with the Insurance
Council of Australia, the Australian and New Zealand Institute
of Insurance and Finance, Legislators and other industry
groups.
The Association is continually negotiating on behalf of
its Members with Insurers, Legislators and other relevant
bodies, continually striving for and working towards a
logical and sensible environment for our Members to best
serve the needs of their clients.
