Geographical Zones

Five rating regions determine green slip prices

Geographical zone, like vehicle class, is an important factor in setting CTP greenslip prices.

State Insurance Regulatory Authority (SIRA) allocates geographical zones (also known as rating regions). They are used in Premium Determination, as set out in the Motor Accident Guidelines. Insurers are required to set greenslip prices on the basis of these rating regions.

NSW is divided into five rating regions in the Schedule of Premium Relativities for the purpose of setting greenslip prices.

Five postcodes are split between two regions. It is important to choose the right suburb for split postcodes when using the greenslips.com.au Calculator.
