Celebrating a Commitment to Diversity and Inclusion in the Financial Sector
Clayton, Victoria, Dec. 09, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Trusted Financial Choice (TFC) is proud to announce that it has been awarded the Diversity & Inclusion Award 2025 at the prestigious Mortgage & Finance Association of Australia (MFAA) National Excellence Awards that took place in July 2025.
With Melanie Kafka, the Executive, Member Experience & Partnerships for the MFAA
This honour recognises the brokerage’s outstanding commitment to creating a more inclusive, accessible and equitable lending environment for Australians of all backgrounds.
A Major Win in a Highly Competitive Year
With almost 700 entries submitted across the 2025 MFAA Awards program, this year marked one of the most competitive and highly contested cycles in the event’s 21-year history.
Unlike most MFAA categories—which begin at the state level before progressing to the national stage—the Diversity & Inclusion Award is a national-only category, meaning entrants compete directly on a national scale from the outset.
