About Greenslips

Who & What is Covered?

Your greenslip does:

• Provide for compensation for people killed or injured in a motor vehicle accident. This includes pedestrians, passengers, cyclists, motorcyclists and drivers of other vehicles.
• Include trailers under the greenslip of the towing vehicle.

Your greenslip does not:

• Cover the driver of your vehicle if the driver is 16 years or older and is not catastrophically injured (as defined by the Lifetime Care & Support Scheme)
• Cover damage to your vehicle or property.
• Cover damage to other peoples’ vehicles or property.
• Cover you for theft of your vehicle.

Your greenslip operates all over Australia, no matter where the accident involving your vehicle occurred.

Six of the seven greenslip insurers offer at fault driver coverage as an additional feature, included in the price of the greenslip. At fault driver cover provides some compensation for the driver. This is a worthwhile feature which you should consider at the time of your greenslip purchase. More information on at fault driver cover is available.

The people entitled to compensation, the basis on which compensation is payable and the limits to the amount of compensation are set out fully in the Motor Accidents Compensation Act 1999 and the Motor Accidents (Lifetime Care and Support) Act 2006. You should seek advice on your position in terms of those Acts, rather than rely on the overview set out in this site.
