Our history

Since the days of bushrangers and the gold rush, AMP has been helping people manage their financial wellbeing so they can enjoy the future they want.

Beginning in 1849 as The Australian Mutual Provident Society, an organisation offering life insurance, AMP has evolved over 150-plus years to a publicly listed company.

AMP has emerged as a strong, highly adaptable company, supporting its people and becoming an integral part of the economic and social fabric of its communities.
