Victorian Managed Insurance Authority (VMIA) is the Victorian Government's insurer and risk adviser, covering the people and projects that help Victorians thrive.

We're an agency in the Department of Treasury and Finance portfolio, established under the Victorian Managed Insurance Authority Act, and report to the Assistant Treasurer.


We provide insurance and risk advice to government departments and agencies, with more than 4,600 clients, ranging from small community service organisations to public hospitals, schools, and core service providers.

The Domestic Building Insurance team provides mandatory insurance cover for homeowners who are building or renovating in Victoria.

Builders are required to purchase Domestic Building Insurance (DBI) on behalf of the homeowner for all domestic building projects over $16,000.

On average, we issue over 90,000 policies each year protecting over $160 billion worth of insured residential projects across Victoria.

We help our clients prepare for, prevent, or reduce the impact of harm. When things don't go to plan, we help clients restore services and recover quickly.


Our unique perspective across Victorian Government clients is an opportunity for learning and development in the risk and insurance industry as well as the broader public sector, creating deep connections with our clients, and a shared understanding of best practice in our fields of expertise.

People are at the heart of everything we do.
