History

The QBE Insurance Group is one of Australia's largest general insurance and reinsurance Groups. Its growth, nationally and internationally since its small beginnings is the story of an institution that has played an important part in Australian commercial history.

In October 1886, James Burns, a young Scotsman formed The North Queensland Insurance Company Limited. By 1890, the company had established over 36 agencies, including New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, many Pacific Islands and London.
