About The Awards

Since 2008, PIEF has hosted the Excellence in Personal Injury and Disability Management Awards to celebrate and showcase the outstanding achievements of our industry.

They are designed to:
• Provide a benchmark for best practice within the industry
• Encourage the continual raising of standards, leading to a better experience for those impacted by personal injury / disability
• Reinforce the value of and inspire confidence in the personal injury and disability management industry
• Publicly recognise and reward excellence and to promote a platform of celebration for the industry

All entries must include a completed nomination form, a submission addressing the selection criteria and supporting documentation.  Nominees  can submit nominations for multiple categories, however separate nominations forms must be used for each category.  
 
Nominations opened March 6, 2023 and closed on May 17, 2023.
In 2022, we introduced a new award category, Excellence in Injury & Disability Management (Lived Experience). This award acknowledges the outstanding contribution made by one of our colleagues who has lived experience working with a disability, who is managing or assisting to support people who have a significant disability resulting from an injury or another cause.
