Company information

We have been a life insurance specialist for more than 175 years.

In 1833 we wrote the first life insurance policy in Australia. And we paid the first claim shortly after. True to the promise we make to our customers, we’ve been paying claims ever since.

In 2011 alone, Asteron Life paid $248 million in claims to over 3,200 customers. Today we are proud to be part of the Suncorp Group.

Suncorp is a unique, diversified financial services group. Suncorp’s brands are well known and leaders in general insurance, banking, life insurance and wealth management. They operate in Australia and New Zealand.

Suncorp is a Top 25 ASX-listed company with around AUD$95 billion in assets, around 15,000 employees, and relationships with 8.7 million customers. Suncorp has five operating divisions managing the group’s various brands, including APIA, Vero, AAMI, Shannons and GIO, supported by corporate and shared services divisions.
