Insurance Careers

A rewarding career awaits

There’s more to a career in insurance than you might think.

The diverse roles and opportunities in insurance provide support for Australians when they need it most.

From data scientists to climate scientists, community relations to communications, disaster management to claims assessment, underwriting to AI, insurance is an industry that puts people first.

Working in insurance offers you the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of individuals, businesses, and communities across Australia.

A career in insurance helps to build a more resilient Australia. It’s our policy.

Insurance is about real, tangible impact

Insurance isn’t just about managing risks or bouncing back when life throws you a curveball. It’s about giving Australians the confidence to dream big, to invest in their futures, their homes, and their businesses.

Insurance is about real, tangible impact. It’s the quiet confidence that fuels innovation, the steady hand that supports dreams – a promise that says, “Go ahead, take that leap, we’ve got your back.” 

When times get tough, and the unexpected happens, insurance steps up as the shock absorber for our nation. That’s what insurance does – cushion the blow so Australians can keep moving forward.

As the world becomes more unpredictable — with worsening extreme weather and cyber threats on the rise — the need for what insurers do is only going to grow. Because people value security, they value peace of mind, and they know that in an increasingly volatile world, insurance is more vital than ever.

So, we’re going to keep doing what we do best: empowering individuals, businesses, and communities to reach new heights, to innovate, and to build more resilient Australia. 

This is not just a bold ambition. It’s our policy.

The Industry Talent Roadmap

The Insurance Council of Australia is proud to deliver the general insurance industry’s first Talent Roadmap, a six-year outline to tackle the industry’s talent shortage by uplifting capability, diversity, equity and inclusion across Australia’s insurance industry.

This Roadmap outlines strategies to:

  • Attract and retain top talent from Australia and around the world.
  • Enhance the skills and capabilities within our industry.
  • Ensure insurers can keep providing a safety net for Australian businesses and communities when they need it most.
