Get the most out of the VMIA Online System

Since 2017, builders in Victoria have had access to the BuildVic portal - Victorian Managed Insurance Authority (VMIA)’s domestic building insurance (DBI) management system.

BuildVic is a secure, user-friendly, and efficient online system built specifically for Victorian residential builders.

As a builder, you no longer need to worry about time-consuming paperwork or delays. With BuildVic, you can manage your DBI needs entirely online, 24/7, giving you more time to focus on what matters most—running your projects and growing your business.

At Master Builders Insurance Brokers (MBIB), we’re here to help you make the most of BuildVic by supporting you with system navigation, education, and expert advice.

 

Key Benefits of the BuildVic Portal for Builders

1. 24/7 Access and Instant Certificate Issuance

One of the most immediate benefits for builders is the ability to apply for and receive DBI certificates in real-time, any time of day. This means no waiting for business hours or manual processing—ideal for fast-paced project timelines and last-minute needs.

2. Enhanced Security with Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA)

Your business information and insurance details are highly sensitive, and the VMIA takes that seriously. BuildVic now features multi-factor authentication (MFA), adding an extra layer of protection. When you log in, you'll be prompted to enter a one-time code sent to your email, ensuring only authorised users gain access.

3. Full Visibility of Your Projects and Policies

With BuildVic, you gain complete oversight of all your current and past DBI certificates, applications, and project histories. This transparency simplifies compliance, reporting, and renewals—and it’s all available at your fingertips.

4. Easy Tracking of Application Status

No more chasing updates. The portal allows you to track the progress of your DBI applications, so you always know where things stand and can plan accordingly.

5. Seamless Document Management

Upload and manage project-related documents easily, from eligibility updates to project variations. BuildVic helps streamline administration, reduce duplication, and ensure all records are centralised.
