At-Fault Driver Cover

All greenslip insurers provide the statutory cover required under the Acts*.

One insurer, NRMA Insurance, offers an additional feature generally called At-Fault Driver Cover. Its Driver Protection cover provides benefits for drivers where the driver is injured and at fault in a road accident.

No insurer offers any other additional feature, except for At-Fault Driver Cover.

At-Fault Driver Cover was first offered under the old greenslip scheme. This is because the driver at fault in an accident was not covered to the same extent as other people, unless catastrophically injured. However, under the 2017 green slip scheme and since 1 April 2023, drivers at fault can claim statutory benefits for up to 12 months.

At-Fault Driver Cover is limited by policy wording and exclusion, specific injuries, and the amounts set out in the insurer’s schedule of benefits. The tables below show each insurer’s position, the schedule of benefits and some notable exclusions. More information on At-Fault Driver Cover is on this site.

Before buying a greenslip, always refer to the insurer’s policy document to understand the full terms applying to At-Fault Driver Cover.

  • If you die, it pays only the death benefit (even if you suffered from one or more specified injuries).
  • If you are paid for any injury and later die as a result of injuries, NRMA does not pay the death benefit as well.

Terms and conditions

All insurers offer the same terms for greenslips. NRMA Insurance offers additional terms for Driver Protection Cover. To be allowed to issue greenslips, all greenslip insurers must provide the statutory cover required under the Acts*.

State Insurance Regulatory Authority (SIRA) monitors the performance of each greenslip insurer.

No greenslip insurer provides a schedule of Terms and Conditions or a Product Disclosure Statement for CTP greenslips. NRMA Insurance provides a policy document for Driver Protection Cover.

Discounts

Insurers determine greenslip prices, after consideration of many factors. These include location, vehicle and driver age, claims history and driving record. Insurers can charge premiums only on the basis submitted to SIRA and not rejected by SIRA.

Discounts for factors such as a good driving record and lack of claims are already reflected in the greenslip price. This is as long as the price is based on accurate vehicle and owner characteristics.

Some insurers offer discounts on other insurance products if you buy their green slips (product bundling). They offer discounts on certain insurances (such as comprehensive vehicle insurance) on the basis that a greenslip and other products are bundled with that insurer.

The table below shows a summary of discounts offered by each insurer on other insurance products. For more information on these discounts, check the insurer’s site or speak to your insurer.

FAQs

1. Does it matter who my green slip is with?

No, all green slips provide exactly the same cover. Even so, you may consider:

  • Is it easy to buy? – online, by phone or at a branch, agent or post office.
  • Is there any extra At-Fault Driver Cover?
  • Are there insurer discounts on other products if I have its green slip?
  • Do I have an existing relationship with an insurer?

2. Is it easy to buy a green slip?

Yes, it is easy to buy a green slip. All NSW CTP insurers offer online and phone purchase. However, some insurers also operate branches or sell through agents:

  • Allianz sells through major motor dealers.
  • GIO and NRMA Insurance use branches and agents.
  • QBE sells through selected brokers and agents.
  • AAMI and Youi are online only.

3. What is At-Fault Driver Cover?

At-Fault Driver Cover is extra cover on top of statutory benefits provided by a green slip. It offers further benefits for drivers who are injured in a road accident that was their fault. Currently, NRMA Insurance offers extra coverage for at-fault drivers with its Driver Protection Cover.

4. Can you negotiate a green slip?

No, you cannot negotiate a green slip because prices are regulated and further discounts are not allowed. The price of a green slip is already discounted for your location, vehicle and driver age, driving record, safe vehicle and other factors.

5. Can I get discounts on my green slip?

No, you cannot get discounts on your green slip. The price of your green slip is already discounted for any favourable factors. However, AAMI, GIO and NRMA Insurance offer discounts on other insurance products if you hold your green slip with them. These include multi-policy discounts, loyalty discounts or discounts off a new policy.
