What is compulsory third-party insurance?
Compulsory third-party insurance, also known as CTP insurance, is compulsory for anyone who wants to register a vehicle in Australia.
If you’re responsible for a car accident, your compulsory third-party insurance will be used to pay any compensation due to anyone who might be injured or killed.
If another party causes the accident, their compulsory third-party insurance will be used to compensate any victims.
Although CTP insurance is compulsory throughout Australia, conditions vary from state to state.
