Making a significant contribution
Thirty years ago TIO started as a general insurer with just a handful of employees and a couple of
shopfronts in Darwin and Alice Springs.
Over the years, the business has diversified to also include banking and financial services as well as the administration and delivery of Northern Territory Government schemes for compulsory personal Motor Accidents Compensation (MAC), Homestart NT home loans for low to middle income earners and the building certification fund.
Today TIO is an iconic organisation with over 250 staff, and operations spread across the Territory. Throughout TIO's development, one overriding principle has remained the same - it exists to look after the needs of Territorians, to protect them and help maintain the lifestyle they enjoy.
