For over 40 years, Maria Dwyer has been a noteworthy leader in the marine insurance industry. Born in South East Queensland, Maria started her insurance career in Brisbane before moving to North Queensland in 1986. Since then, she has become a well-known and respected industry personality.
In 1995, Maria was awarded the Lex McKeown Trophy by the National Insurance Brokers Association (NIBA) for contributions to the Australian insurance industry. In 1996, she wrote a policy wording for Great Barrier Reef Marine Park Authority and organised the underwriting of this policy in London. The policy wording is still used by marine operations with fixed structures within the marine park.
Maria was a member of the NIBA’s Queensland Board from 1991 to 2000. She was also responsible for establishing and maintaining a forum in North Queensland to provide ongoing education and social interaction for insurance brokers in the region. From 2000 to 2009, she was a member of the Marine Board of Queensland, a six-member board appointed by the Queensland Cabinet, answering to the Minister for Transport, and responsible for consulting and advising the State Government on marine matters. Maria was chair of the Queensland Marine Academy from 2003 to 2004. She has spoken at many conventions and conferences around the country on maritime insurance matters and delivered numerous workshops to help brokers understand the world of marine insurance.
Maria has always appreciated that no single approach is right for every individual’s specialised insurance needs. She has developed an enviable reputation for providing unparalleled service tailored to meet her clients’ requirements.
