T & G Mutual Life Assurance Society
The T & G Mutual Life Assurance Society was an insurance company that operated in Australia and New Zealand.[1] The 'T & G' stood for 'Temperance & General'.[2] The company was founded in 1876,[3] emerging from the Assurance branch of the Independent Order of Rechabites. The branch was severed from the I.O.R Rechabite Lodge after six years of operations.[4]
In 1983 the T&G Society amalgamated with the National Mutual Life Association.[5]
