The Queensland Government established the State Government Insurance Office (SGIO) on 1 February 1917. The existing State Accident Insurance Office became the Workers' Compensation Department of the SGIO. The SGIO was responsible for insuring state assets and offering life insurance and general insurance (house, car) to the Queensland public.[1]

On 1 March 1986 it was merged into Suncorp.[1]

gollark: PotatOS broke in it for a while, but I fixed that, without actually figuring out why.
gollark: It still runs all (most) CC programs.
