CTP claim FAQs
What is CTP insurance?
What is CTP insurance?
In New South Wales, your car registration includes a mandatory cost for compulsory third party (CTP) insurance. Its purpose is to protect people who are injured or die in NSW motor vehicle accidents, where another driver is partially or totally at fault. CTP insurance is not for property damage to your car, or to any other vehicle.
