“This year’s finalists are prime examples of the cutting edge of broking and showcase why this channel is playing a vital role in helping Australians realise their property dreams and navigate financial challenges.

What is the Australian Broking Awards program?
With a record proportion of home buyers and businesses turning to brokers for support, the 15th annual Australian Broking Awards – run in partnership with NAB – recognises the leading brokers, brokerages, and aggregation groups across the third-party channel.
The Australian Broking Awards program provides a platform for professionals to gain nationwide recognition. Being named a finalist of an Australian Broking Award can build professional credibility and elevate recipients above their peers in a competitive broking landscape.
The Australian Broking Awards program features a highly regarded judging panel to foster peer-reviewed recognition of participants’ capabilities and expertise in driving the industry forward.
To determine the winners, the finalists’ submissions are delivered to a panel of respected professionals and business leaders, who will assess each submission against the criteria of each award category.
The judging criteria for award categories are both quantitative and qualitative, acknowledging growth, business development, diversity, leadership, innovation, business excellence, and contribution to Australia’s mortgage and finance sector.
The judges score each part of the submission across the category’s criteria, giving an aggregated score. A number of judges individually assess each submission for each category, offering a blended score and assessment.
The combined judging scores for each submission in each category are tabulated, with the highest-scoring submission deemed the winner.
The highest-scoring broker will be crowned Broker of the Year at the end of the awards ceremony in August.
