Winners of the New South Wales and Australian Capital Territory MFAA State Excellence Awards announced

Yesterday, the winners of 18 awards were crowned at the New South Wales and Australian Capital Territory 2022 ceremony in Sydney last night.

Held at the Fullerton Hotel, the event was the final of five MFAA State Excellence Awards ceremonies held across the country between May and June.

MFAA CEO Mike Felton said the awards recognise those members who have excelled in areas including customer service, professionalism, ethics, growth and innovation.

“We received a phenomenal number of nominations for the MFAA Excellence Awards this year, which made a difficult task for our judges, but is also indicative of a successful, vibrant and rapidly growing industry,” said Mr Felton.

“To be able to celebrate the achievements of our members, and our industry, in-person once again has been wonderful, particularly as the industry can now look up and look ahead to the future with some certainty after emerging from years of examination and successful implementation of reform.”

The MFAA Excellence Awards are audited by Hall Chadwick and are judged equally based on excellence and professionalism across all areas of business.

All winners at the New South Wales/Australian Capital Territory MFAA Excellence Awards are finalists in their respective categories in the MFAA National Excellence Awards which will be held on Wednesday 27 July at The Star Sydney.

We thank the following leading companies that demonstrated their support by sponsoring the awards including: ANZ, Australian Broker, Bluestone, Commonwealth Bank, Mortgage Choice, MPA Magazine, NAB, NextGen, Pepper Money, Prospa, QBE, Suncorp, Teachers Mutual Bank Limited and The Adviser.
