Compulsory Third Party insurance (CTP) or Green Slip, as it’s known in NSW, is something all vehicles are required to be covered by in all states within Australia. It provides the driver cover for any legal liability for injury and death as a result of an accident for which the insured is responsible – be it for other drivers, passengers, pedestrians or cyclists.
In most states, CTP is included in your registration fees and you don’t need to worry about it too much. If you’re from QLD, ACT or NSW, you have the option of choosing your insurer.
