At the Brokerage we absolutely love supporting our customers to realise their finance goals so when our team members are tapped on the should for industry awards, it all feels a little bit like icing on the cake. This year has been a standout. The Brokerage has been recognised across multiple categories at the prestigious LMG Award nominations for 2026, alongside our continued inclusion in LMG’s Top 100 businesses for the third consecutive year.
Top 100 Recognition – Three Years Running
We’re proud to share that The Brokerage has again been recognised as a Top 100 business within LMG for 2025 and 2026, building on our 2024 achievement.
As Australia and New Zealand’s largest mortgage and finance broking aggregator, LMG represents thousands of brokers across the region. Being included in the Top 100 reflects the consistency of our work, the strength of our client relationships, and the standards our team holds itself to year after year.
This ongoing recognition speaks to something we value deeply: sustainable excellence. It’s not about one exceptional year, it’s about showing up with the same level of professionalism, care, and expertise for our clients every single day.
