About us
Victorian Managed Insurance Authority (VMIA) is the Victorian Government's insurer and risk adviser, covering the people and projects that help Victorians thrive.

We're an agency in the Department of Treasury and Finance portfolio, established under the Victorian Managed Insurance Authority Act, and report to the Assistant Treasurer.

We provide insurance and risk advice to government departments and agencies, with more than 4,600 clients, ranging from small community service organisations to public hospitals, schools, and core service providers. We also provide domestic building insurance to builders, giving Victorian homeowners peace of mind for building projects valued over $16,000.

We help our clients prepare for, prevent, or reduce the impact of harm. When things don't go to plan, we help clients restore services and recover quickly.
Our unique perspective across Victorian Government clients is an opportunity for learning and development in the risk and insurance industry as well as the broader public sector, creating deep connections with our clients, and a shared understanding of best practice in our fields of expertise.

You work with a team of claims specialists and claims officers who provide best-practice strategic claims management. VMIA claims management is tailored to the public sector and focuses on efficient, fit-for-purpose recovery solutions for our clients.
The Claims Specialist also plays a key part in educating our clients and building their knowledge of emerging trends and strategies aimed at reducing the level and frequency of claims to heighten their risk management capability.

- You contribute to the innovation and development of products, appropriate coverage, and claims response by identifying trends within the portfolio and work with Underwriters and Risk Advisors to optimise the risk.
- You participate in various activities identified as contributing to VMIA's value proposition.

Who you work with

- You work across VMIA including Underwriters and Risk Advisors to optimise service and product offerings.
- You build and maintain effective relationships with third party service providers to obtain optimum claims resolution.

About you
