As well as the security provided by the Qualified Practising Insurance Broker (QPIB) status, all NIBA member brokers are duty bound to adhere to the Insurance Brokers Code of Practice.

The Insurance Brokers Code of Practice sets out the minimum service standards you can expect when you use an insurance broker and outlines what you need to do in the unlikely event you have a complaint to make.

All brokers listed on Need a Broker subscribe to the Code of Practice. Just another reason why you can be so sure you’re in good hands when you use this service. You can read more about what the Code means for consumers here.

The Insurance Brokers Code of Practice was developed by the National Insurance Brokers Association of Australia (NIBA) and is independently monitored by the Code Compliance Committee.
