Vero and GIO Workers Compensation have opened applications for the 17th RM Advancer Awards.  

The scheme, for Vero and GIO clients and their brokers, celebrates organisations’ risk management efforts.  

Groups with annual turnover above $100 million and more than 100 employees are eligible for the commercial, workers’ compensation and public liability awards, and there is a separate category for SME businesses.  

A new award category has been introduced this year – best continuous improvement, which is open to all businesses.  

Vero commercial EGM David Hoffmann says the 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.”

Nominations are open until September 19, with finalists announced on October 1. Winners will be unveiled on November 13 at the Immigration Museum on Flinders Street, Melbourne. Apply here.
