Awards

For over three decades, the Actuaries Institute has honoured outstanding members who exemplify the profession's highest standards. The prestigious Actuary of the Year Award celebrates individuals who have an impact on business, community, and the actuarial profession.

We celebrate our volunteers each year. The Institute wouldn’t be what it is without them! From the President’s Award, to those for young volunteers and committees, the Volunteer of the Year Awards recognise the contributions of our members that move the profession forward.

The Life Membership award recognises outstanding distinguished service to the profession and the Institute. 

Mr Ted Rudge, MA, FIA, ASA, FIAA, is the first and, so far, only recipient of the Practitioner’s Award. This award recognised Mr Rudge's use of actuarial skills to find a solution to an unprecedented circumstance in the insurance industry, demutualising National Mutual. The Practitioner’s Award was presented to Mr Rudge in March 1996.

Gold and Silver Medals are presented to recognise actuaries whose entire career shapes the actuarial profession.

The Actuaries Institute awards several monetary prizes for outstanding actuarial research papers in different fields. Prizes are donated by current and past members.
