An Explanation of the Fund Levy

Calculation of Fund Levy

The Fund Levy is currently a fixed dollar amount, based on vehicle type and location. It appears as a separate charge on your greenslip.

The State Insurance Regulatory Authority (SIRA) component of the Fund Levy is set by SIRA. It is calculated as a percentage, currently around 11% of greenslip premiums.

Two components

The Fund Levy is made up of two parts:

1. The largest part of the Levy funds the Lifetime Care and Support scheme (LCS):

  • LCSA General Fund
  • Motor Accident Injuries Treatment and Care Benefits (MAITC) Fund.

2. The second part of the Levy is for the SIRA Fund. SIRA uses this to pay:

  • Operating costs of SIRA
  • Fees to Transport for NSW to administer the registration process
  • Costs of public hospital, ambulance and other services for people injured in a road accident.
