Set to become the driving force behind both the Sideline Champions, the Australian Team’s family and friends’ program, and performance investment in sport through the Green2Gold2Great, AAMI will play a critical role in delivering the green and gold to the field of play at the Commonwealth Games.
For more than 50 years, AAMI has been a trusted Australian insurance brand, with millions of Australians choosing AAMI to protect their most valuable assets, from home and contents to their car or business.
CGA CEO Craig Phillips AM welcomed the announcement, endorsing AAMI’s commitment to the Australian Team.
“Millions of Australians are lucky to be with AAMI, and from today so too is the Australian Commonwealth Games Team,” Phillips said.
“Their support of our family and friends’ program, Sideline Champions, and our performance investment via Green2Gold2Great will go a long way to delivering the best Australian Team to compete at Glasgow 2026.
“AAMI have for many years invested in sport, and we’re excited to welcome them to the Team for their first collaboration with the Commonwealth Games.”
Chef de Mission Petria Thomas OAM OLY described the partnership as a game changer.
“AAMI are backing in not just the Australian Team, but the team behind the team and that will make a genuine difference to the experience of the throngs of green and gold athletes, officials, family and friends headed to Glasgow,” Thomas said.
“Our athletes spend years training for the chance to represent Australia, so knowing they have partners like AAMI backing them to be their best will give them great confidence.”
AAMI will leverage its partnership using their award-winning Athletes in the Making campaign, where small mishaps at home have no impact on young people chasing their dreams of representing Australia.
It will further come to life through AAMI ambassadorships with athletes, including collaborations with Kyle Chalmers OAM (swimming), Jessica Hull (athletics), Lachlan Kennedy (athletics) and Hani Watson (powerlifter), all of whom are chasing their place on the Australian Team for Glasgow 2026.
“There’s nothing more inspiring than watching an Australian chase their dreams on the world stage, and that’s why we’re getting behind the Commonwealth Games team headed to Glasgow 2026,” Executive General Manager Brand & Customer Experience Mim Haysom said.
“Behind every athlete chasing gold in Glasgow is a team of supporters, parents, partners, coaches and friends. AAMI is also proud to recognise and celebrate those ‘Sideline Champions’ who’ve helped our athletes get to the starting line."
The AAMI Sidelines Champions Lounge will be a dedicated space at the Games where supporters can watch, cheer and share the moment with pride, alongside other friends and families of Aussie athletes.
"Not every supporter can make it to Glasgow, which is why our Sideline Champions program will connect families and supporters back home with the Australian Team, so the people who’ve backed our athletes from day one can share in every milestone,” Ms Haysom said.
The Glasgow 2026 Commonwealth Games will take place from 23 July to 2 August 2026.
