Our History

An enterprising spirit, ingenuity, and tenacity have built the company into one of the world’s leading insurers, with offices in approximately 70 countries. The first Australian office opened in Collins Street, Melbourne in 1957. Within just two years, a second office was established in Sydney.

Today, AIG is focused on what it has been known for since the beginning: the willingness and ability to provide insurance coverage to meet the diverse needs of its clients.

Our global perspective offers the benefits of global experience and anticipation of emerging risks, while our local presence provides you with access to experienced professionals who understand your unique insurance needs. As we help our customers seize opportunities around the globe, we draw strength, knowledge and powerful perspectives from the people, places and cultures that comprise our organisation.

We are in the business of making promises and keeping them. This, together with quality products and superior service, helps us develop efficient, honest, fair and transparent relationships. We work in partnership with our customers and our network of brokers and partners, building strong sustainable relationships to help manage and mitigate the risks they face every day
