About NTTC

History

NTTC was established on 1 July 1994 under the Northern Territory Treasury Corporation Act 1994 to undertake the financial management of the Territory's public finances.

NTTC's mission and objectives are designed to advance the financial interests and development of the Territory and improve its market identification in both domestic and international capital markets.

Corporate governance

NTTC's objective is to provide the Territory Government with cost-effective funding, efficient financial management and reliable service and advice. NTTC's board and management are committed to achieving this objective while upholding high standards of corporate governance, transparency and accountability through controls, policies and frameworks.

Under section 5 of the Northern Territory Treasury Corporation Act 1994, the Under Treasurer of the Department of Treasury and Finance (DTF) is designated as the Corporation sole and is subject to the direction of the Treasurer of the Northern Territory.

An Advisory Board and an Audit Committee have been established to assist the Under Treasurer with issues relating to NTTC's operations.
