How are green slip prices calculated for trucks and buses?
Greenslip prices for trucks and buses are calculated in a similar way to light vehicles:
- Vehicle type – for example, bus (school, charter), rigid truck (light, medium, heavy), prime mover
- Weight – Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) or Gross Combination Mass (GCM)
- Vehicle code – for example, tipper (TPR), prime mover (PMV), Pantechnicon (PAN)
- Usage – Different types of business use, such as primary producer or dangerous goods transport.
- Location – Prices vary by geographic rating region
- Driver – If there are many drivers, the risk profile of the business
- Claims history – For the vehicle, business and/or industry
- GST credits – Businesses registered for GST can claim a GST credit on a green slip. Business Greenslips and GST explains its impact on your green slip price.
Our greenslips.com.au Calculator provides prices for light trucks up to 4.5 tonnes GVM. The calculator does not work for heavy trucks in excess of 4.5 tonnes GVM or for buses.
What happens if an employee is driving and is at fault?
The green slip covers the employee and others who may be injured or die in the road accident. If the employee is injured, they are eligible for up to 12 months of benefits. Benefits are for loss of income and medical treatment and care. However, at-fault drivers are not covered to the same extent as other drivers who are not at fault. For example, the employee cannot claim for damages unless they have very serious or catastrophic injuries.
Is a green slip valid if the truck causes an accident in another state?
Yes, a green slip provides coverage for the truck all over Australia. The registered owner can make a green slip claim for an accident anywhere in the country. However, each state or territory has a different approach to fault and compensation.
How do green slips work for fleets?
Green slips work in the same way for fleets but prices can be cheaper. Fleets of 2 or more heavy vehicles can be registered to have the same registration expiry date (common expiry date).
Fleet Greenslips explains that CTP green slip prices in NSW can be cheaper for fleets.
