RM Advancer Awards are back!
RM Advancer is Australia's premier risk management awards program, recognising outstanding performance and exceptional risk management achievements of Vero and GIO Workers Compensation clients and their brokers in categories for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) and large organisations.
Last year, we were excited to continue the tradition of showcasing and rewarding the pivotal role risk managers play in helping to safeguard organisations. The program garnered a very enthusiastic response from our broker partners and their clients, resulting in a number of quality nominations and three very deserving winners in 2023.
This sixteenth edition of the awards continues to celebrate the commitment to implementing best practices in risk management as organisations adapt to new challenges in their respective industries. Whether it was a team effort leading to improved risk culture, disaster-prevention initiatives or an investment in safety that’s already paying dividends – we want to hear about it.
We’re delighted to be running the 16th RM Advancer awards program this year to showcase and reward the role risk managers play in protecting their organisations.

RM Advancer – The Reject Shop Case Study
Safety is at the heart of The Reject Shop. Vero & GIO Workers Compensation teams were impressed with The Reject Shop’s commitment to safety and continuous improvement with their workplace processes.
Metcash thrives after hailstorm
In 2015, the Metcash Distribution Centre at Huntingwood in Western Sydney suffered a dramatic hailstorm. The damage to the warehouse was so extensive, this huge distribution centre could no longer operate. This triggered Metcash’s Business Continuity Plan.
