The Australian and New Zealand Institute of Insurance and Finance (ANZIIF)), CEO, Katrina Shanks, strengthened
stakeholder relationships and expanded opportunities throughout South-East Asia.
This trip comes as part of ANZIIF’s ongoing commitment to support and promote the insurance industry throughout the
region.

Provider (ATP) Agreement, opening opportunities for students and insurance professionals in the West Sumatra Region to
develop their insurance careers through ANZIIF.
ANZIIF collaborated with the Thai Insurance Brokers Association to sign an ATP Agreement, enabling brokers in Thailand
to complete ANZIIF’s Executive Certificate in General Insurance Broking and become ANZIIF Senior Associate CIP Members.
ANZIIF signed a Mutual Recognition Agreement with the Malaysian Insurance Institute (MII), paving the way for
recognition of professional membership in Malaysia, which will enhance professional standards and expand career
opportunities within Malaysia’s insurance sector.
Shanks led 3 seminars on ANZIIF’s new Empathetic Claims Management short course in Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur and Bangkok,
