The Motor Trades Association of Australia (MTAA) has concluded its consultation process on proposed changes to the MVIRI Code of Conduct.
MTAA says the draft Code, which is being reviewed jointly with the Insurance Council of Australia (ICA), risks reinforcing insurer dominance and failing to resolve long-standing concerns about fairness and transparency in the claims and repair process.
MTAA’s formal submission calls for amendments to address what it describes as structural imbalances and argues that the current draft does not provide an enforceable, practical framework for industry participants.
Negotiations with the ICA are expected to continue through the remainder of 2025, with a revised Code to be implemented in early 2026. MTAA is working with affiliated repairer bodies, including the Australian Motor Body Repairers Association (AMBRA), to prepare for the next stage of discussions.
