Matthew James Davey, 39, was sentenced 18 years with 15 years parole for his crimes of attempted murder and persistent family violence.
Davey was also sentenced four years for drug and firearm trafficking, and will serve a cumulative sentence for all of his crimes for 22 years and three months.
He will not be eligible for parole for 14 years and three months and will not be able to leave prison until at least 2033, taking into account that the sentence starts from January 2019.
In sentencing Supreme Court Justice Michael Brett said the crime of attempted murder was the most serious kind of family violence.
He said Davey's decision to exert his control and end the complainant's life was horrendous.
"You did this in a particularly cruel and horrific way, and as an arrogant expression of your dominance over her. This was a shocking breach of trust inherent in the relationship and deserves severe condemnation," Justice Brett said.
"Violence against women, including where it involves lethal or potentially lethal force, and where it is committed in a family violence context must not, and will not be tolerated in any circumstances."
Justice Brett said there was a duty to respond strongly in sentencing, "to ensure the protection of those who are threatened by and vulnerable to such violence."
In assessing mitigation Justice Brett said Davey's act of helping the complainant while she was on fire prevented her death, and restricted his criminal responsibility to attempted murder.
But he said it was difficult to find any mitigation of moral culpability of an act which carried "inevitable and catastrophic consequences".
"There is nothing else that mitigates your culpability of this crime, you have shown no remorse."
Justice Brett said he was satisfied that immediately after the crime was committed, Davey was concerned about avoiding responsibility.
He said a final telephone call by Davey to the complainant to avoid responsibility was a "final and desperate attempt to call on her loyalty to you" and negated any of his remorse for setting her on fire.
"You asked the complainant to lie about how the fire had started. You told her that if she did not you were going to prison for a very long time."
Regarding the firearms trafficking, Justice Brett said it put dangerous weapons into the hands of criminals.
"Your conduct deserves the severest condemnation."
