FAQs
What is CTP insurance?
What is CTP insurance?
Compulsory Third Part Insurance (CTP) is a compulsory insurance required by all states and Territories and Australia. CTP is typically included with your registration costs but this can vary state by state. CTP covers the cost associated with a claim against someone you injured or has died because of a road vehicle accident. This means all motor vehicle accidents with registration are covered by CTP. Due to the complexity, we recommend contacting one of our motor vehicle experts to explore your options further.
