About the 2025 awards

The benchmark awards program for excellence in mortgage and finance is back

The Better Business Awards provide an excellent platform for talented mortgage and finance professionals and offices across Australia to gain recognition and celebrate the best in the industry in their local markets.

For over a decade, it has celebrated the best of the best in mortgage and finance in each state and territory and is a coveted award for Australia’s brokers, networks, innovators, leaders, and aggregators.

Key to being successful is building up a local presence and servicing clients in your immediate catchment area with dedication and skill. To be an outstanding professional or office, it’s just not about writing volume, it’s about customer service and dedication to the client’s best interests.

The awards celebrate the best of the best in Australia’s mortgage and finance industry and will recognise the outstanding contribution of professionals and businesses working within the profession across 20-plus categories.

The awards are open to all businesses operating in Australia supporting the mortgage and finance industry and will be a desirable accolade for both individuals and businesses seeking to forge their role in the sector.

Register your interest to be the first to know when submissions open for 2026.

What others say

I love coming every year. I've been to every one that we've had here in Brisbane. There's always great content, excellent speakers and I've really enjoyed it today.

Tracie Palmer - Mortgage Broker and Owner of Cornerstone Homeloans

Today's event has been amazing. It's firstly so great to be connecting in a room with people for the first time in over a couple of years and to come into the room and the format was just so different. And having to wear these headphones and listening to content, but at the same time, catching up with our lender friends, our broker friends and at the same time listening to content. You know, it's been really, really great. A very different concept.

Nicole Canon, Mortgage Broker, Founder/Director Pink Finance - Sydney delegate

Today's Better Business Summit has actually been my favourite conference to date. 19 years in the industry is just really dynamic. You can tune in, you can tune out. The silent disco theme has been amazing. And just lots of different interactive things on show here. It's been really good. For someone coming to the next business summit, I would definitely suggest coming. It's a time to reflect on your business, and learn and level up. You get to speak to the speakers, so it's just really interesting and it'll open your mind a little bit I would describe the event as extremely dynamic, very forward thinking, visionary and fun.

Liz Wilson, Broker, Wilson Financial - Sydney delegate

It's a really new, really good way of actually going around meeting the lenders and seeing the actual guest speakers the way you've done it.

Steve D’Costa, Lend Me - Perth Delegate

It's quite good coming to all the stands and talking to people and I've enjoyed the one about cyber crime. I would say attend. It's always good learning and you get to meet a lot of peers and you get to talk to all the BDMs at the stands. I think it's well worth coming.
