Victoria’s laws require that every driver or rider on Australian roads must have Compulsory Third Party insurance (also known as CTP insurance or ‘green-slip’). CTP covers your liability and the liability of anyone else who drives your vehicle, for injuries caused to others in a motor vehicle or Motorcycle accident.
Including this cover into every rider’s registration in Victoria provides a safeguard to injured parties, making sure they always receive the necessary compensation regardless of the rider’s financial situation while simultaneously protecting riders from expensive legal and medical costs that arise from accidents on the Australian roads.
In Victoria, WA, TAS, and the NT, Compulsory Third Party is automatically included in your registration fees however in SA, NSW, ACT and QLD you have the option of choosing an Insurer.
