About AICLA

The Australasian Institute of Chartered Loss Adjusters (AICLA) is the region’s premier professional loss adjusting body. It boasts more than 900 members across Australia, New Zealand, Southeast Asia, and the Pacific. The institute was formed in 1997 as a result of the merger of three of the industry’s largest professional bodies – the Australian Institute of Loss Adjusters (AILA), Chartered Institute of Loss Adjusters Australasian Division (CILA), and Institute of Loss Adjusters of New Zealand (ILANZ).

AICLA was established to:

• Provide a framework of recognised and respected educational standards, courses, and qualifications for the industry

• Provide unified representation in the insurance and financial services industry, which it serves
• Liaise with insurers, brokers, lawyers, and others serving in the loss adjusting industry

AICLA consists of its board of directors, division councils, committees, and administrative offices.
