NSW CTP Green Slip Insurance

Yes. In NSW, Compulsory Third Party Insurance (CTP) is also known as ‘Green Slip’.

Compulsory Third Party (CTP) Personal Injury insurance is compulsory when registering a motor vehicle in NSW. You are not covered for CTP if your car is not registered. You may be personally liable for any injuries you cause in a motor vehicle accident if it is driven whilst not registered and without CTP cover.

As long as your trailer and/or caravan is in a roadworthy condition, it will be covered by the CTP or MAI Insurance policy of the vehicle towing it.

No, there’s no need to list a learner on your CTP policy. The only exceptions are if the vehicle is used for professional driving instruction purposes, it’s registered in the learner’s name, or it’s the vehicle they will drive once they get their licence. 

If you have a light vehicle (vehicles with GVM less than 4.5 tonnes), you can choose between a 6 or 12 month term. Provided you pay for both the CTP Green Slip and registration within 21 days of the due date, you can choose a 6 month term for the renewal of your CTP Green Slip.

If you’re moving to NSW, you’ll need to purchase a CTP Green Slip and obtain an eSafety check prior to registering your vehicle with Service NSW. Until you register your car in NSW, it will be considered unregistered, even if you still have registration left over from where you were previously living. Visit Service NSW for further details.

If you’re moving away from NSW, you’ll need to refer to your new state or territory’s requirements and timeframes for transferring your vehicle registration. If you’re moving to SA or the ACT, you’ll have the opportunity to choose AAMI as your new SA Compulsory Third Party (CTP) or ACT Motor Accident Injuries (MAI) insurer. Visit our SA CTP Insurance or ACT MAI Insurance pages to learn more.
