Australian businesses with a strong focus on managing workplace risks are being encouraged to enter the 2025 RM Advancer Awards, with nominations now open across multiple categories.
Established by Vero and GIO, the RM Advancer Awards spotlight the achievements of businesses and brokers in promoting effective risk management practices. This year’s awards introduce a new category – Best Continuous Improvement – which is designed to highlight organisations that have made gradual, measurable progress in strengthening their risk frameworks.
“Great organisational risk management doesn’t happen overnight, and our new category aims to spotlight cases where risk parameters have gradually strengthened with time. We believe a slow and steady road to robust risk management can often yield the best results, and we’re excited to see the different approaches taken by organisations across the country,” said David Hoffmann, executive general manager commercial at Vero.
The program is open to small to medium enterprises – those with fewer than 100 employees or turnover under $100 million – as well as large businesses operating in the commercial, workers compensation, and public liability sector.
Now in its 17th year, the RM Advancer Awards will culminate in a ceremony on Nov. 13 at the Immigration Museum in Melbourne. Winners will receive $2,000 to spend on training or professional development in risk management, with brokers also recognised alongside their clients.
Nominations close on Sept. 19 and the list of finalists will be released on Oct. 1. More information, including how to submit entries, is available on the RM Advancer Awards website.
