The Adviser is on the search for the leading brokerages in the country, with submissions now open for the Top 25 Brokerages 2026.
The Adviser is calling for submissions from brokerages across Australia for the Top 25 Brokerages 2026.
Now in its 16th consecutive year, the premier ranking showcases the top brokerages in the country by assessing key business metrics and productivity.
The Top 25 Brokerages 2026 ranking returns to spotlight high-performing brokerages that consistently achieved high scores throughout the 2025 financial year (FY25).
As the broking industry continues to grow – generating $4.1 billion in total economic activity in 2023–24 – the Top 25 Brokerages 2026 ranking presents an opportunity for brokers to demonstrate their strengths and capabilities while elevating their brokerage in a competitive market.
How the ranking is determined
The ranking metrics are based on five key areas from FY25 ending 30 June 2025.
To be in the running, each brokerage must provide data for the size, settlement, and volume of loans written across the period.
The assessment metrics include:
- Loan book size by type.
- Loans settled by type.
- Volume of loans by type.
- Years in business.
- Number of active brokers and loan writers.
These five scores are then added to give a final overall score. The lower the score, the better the ranking.
Once scores are finalised, the top-performing brokerages will be ranked in their final place in the Top 25 Brokerages ranking.
In the entrant’s submission, details relating to the brokerage will need to be validated by the brokerage’s CRM or accountant.
To enter this ranking, the brokerage must have a minimum of three brokers/loan writers, and all brokers/loan writers must operate under the brokerage’s own brand.
Eligible brokerages are encouraged to submit an entry now.
Submissions close at 5:30pm AEDT on Friday, 24 October 2025.
The final ranking will be published in the February 2026 edition of The Adviser magazine. You can read the ranking from 2025 here.
