SGIC is an insurance brand of Insurance Australia Group trading in South Australia. It was formerly the State Government Insurance Commission, providing compulsory third party motor vehicle insurance. SGIC first opened its doors for business on 4 January 1972 with a staff of 24 housed in the third level of Adelaide House at 55 Waymouth Street, Adelaide. When the Bill to establish SGIC was introduced into the South Australian Parliament the Premier at the time Don Dunstan declared that SGIC's role was to help keep premiums at reasonable levels, ensure by competition that adequate service was given and make funds available for investment in semi governmental loans important to the development of the State. The first premium income for SGIC came from insuring the car fleet for the South Australian Government $155,026. SGIC moved to new premises on 24 April 1981 at 211 Victoria Square, Adelaide. SGIC grew from a concept in 1971 to become the largest general insurer in South Australia by 1992 selling motor, home, life, commercial and health insurance throughout the state via 19 branches. By 1992 one in four South Australians was a client of SGIC and it employed close to one thousand South Australians. In the latter half of the 1990s the State Government decided to sell SGIC with the Company being acquired by SGIO from Western Australia in 1998. In 2000 SGIO was acquired by NRMA who in turn acquired CGU. SGIC and CGU moved to new Building at 80 Flinders Street in 2005. In moving from a totally state based insurer to being under the umbrella of NRMA who then changed to IAG or Insurance Australia Group meant the assessing resources from South Australia were sent interstate on many occasions to assist when natural disasters hit. Sydney Hailstorm, Cyclone Larry, Newcastle Floods, Victorian Bushfires 2009, Melbourne and Perth Storm 2010 were all events to which assessing assistance was sent from South Australia. Many past employees of SGIC have gone on to hold important positions in other major companies and Organizations in Adelaide such as RAA, Allianz, QBE and OPTUS. == External links == * (Official SGIC Website ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「SGIC」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
