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.
