Allianz Olympic and Paralympic Partnership
Let’s care for tomorrow. For a better and more inclusive world through sports.
Allianz Australia – alongside the Allianz Group – is behind the Olympic & Paralympic Movements as the Worldwide Insurance Partner. Sharing the Olympic and Paralympic values, this partnership inspires us to provide confidence in tomorrow – for our customers, athletes and our employees.
Allianz Group has a long history of supporting sport across the globe, and in Australia, Allianz has been a proud partner of Paralympics Australia since 2011 and the Australian Olympic Committee (AOC) since 2019.
In 2021, Allianz began its eight-year worldwide partnership as the global Olympic and Paralympic Insurance Partner.
The power of sport unites us around a shared passion – our employees proudly embrace the opportunity to promote Olympic and Paralympic values and be part of a local and global community that shares our passion. We understand and appreciate the social, physical and mental benefits that sport and friendly competition can bring to communities everywhere.
Join us in supporting our Australian athletes for Paris 2024 and beyond.
Meet Allianz Australia Olympic and Paralympic Ambassadors
We’re proud to be the Worldwide Insurance Partner of the Olympic and Paralympic Movements from 2021-2028. Meet our Olympic ambassadors – two of Australia’s most elite athletes who inspire us with their dedication and vulnerability.
Mollie O’Callaghan, OAM
Olympian, Swimming
“I'm proud to stand beside a group of amazing role models and hope that, as an Allianz Ambassador, I can hopefully inspire more young athletes to make their own mark and set goals of their own."
Mollie O’Callaghan is an accomplished Olympic swimmer who has achieved what many athletes aspire to - all before her 20th birthday. With two Olympic gold medals and two world records to her name, she has proven to be a fierce competitor in the pool.
Madison de Rozario, OAM
Paralympian, Athletics
“By speaking up, I hope to show that even athletes are vulnerable; it's ok to have fears, but we can't let our fears stop us from progressing.”
Madison has competed at four Paralympic Games, winning 6 Paralympic medals, ten World Championship medals and four gold medals at the Commonwealth Games. She’s the first Australian to win the elite women’s wheelchair race at the London Marathon in 2018, and in 2021, she became the first Australian woman to win the New York Marathon.
