The MAA had six key functions:
1. Compliance

2. Effectiveness
Ensure the market was competitive and fair, license the insurers, manage insurer conduct, monitor and if necessary reject premiums, monitor profitability and insurer solvency.
3. Health improvement
Improve injury management and health outcomes and improve services for injured people and their families.
4. Claims
Improve efficiency and effectiveness of claims assessment, reduce claims assessment disputes and resolve disputes quickly.
5. Information
Monitor and report on operation of the scheme. Provide information to greenslip purchasers through price comparison and a claims advisory service.
6. Prevention
Support injury prevention by funding research, through sponsorships and participation with the community.
State Insurance Regulatory Authority (SIRA) took over from the Motor Accidents Authority (MAA) on 1 September 2015. SIRA is a statutory body created by State Insurance and Care Governance Act 2015.
The SIRA site provides CTP greenslip information, including prices and claims advice from CTPAssist.
The CTPAssist number is 1300 656 919.
