FAQS

Is insurance compulsory in Victoria?

Yes. If you drive a car or ride a motorcycle in Victoria, you need to have insurance before you can legally drive or ride. The level of insurance cover needed as a minimum is the same for everyone, known as compulsory third party or CTP.

CTP covers you for any injuries to other road users, such as drivers, cyclists or pedestrians, if you are involved in an accident, but it does not cover you for damage to your or another person’s property, such as a vehicle. CTP is part of your registration and is paid for when you register a motorcycle or car.

Whilst CTP is the minimum level of insurance cover required in Victoria, it is advisable to obtain a higher level of cover in order to protect you in case of an accident.

Is third party insurance compulsory in Victoria?

Yes. Compulsory third party (CTP) insurance is part of your vehicle or motorcycle registration, so it is paid for when you register a car or motorcycle. Conversely, if your registration lapses, so does your CTP insurance, which means you can be fined if you continue to use your motorcycle without it being registered or insured.

CTP insurance is different to third party liability motorcycle insurance, as the former is related to injuries to people, whereas the latter is related to damage to another person’s vehicle or property.

What is the cost of third party insurance in Victoria?

Compulsory third party (CTP) insurance is automatically part of your vehicle or motorcycle registration and is administered by the Transport Accident Commission or TAC. The cost is determined according to several factors such as your postcode, your motorcycle’s engine capacity (CC), and the registered owner.

The registration fee consists of two parts: the fee for registering the motorcycle; and the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) charge, which helps to fund treatment and income support for people who have been involved in road accidents.

What is included in Compulsory Third Party insurance in Victoria?

Compulsory third party (CTP) insurance covers you for injuries caused to other road users. In Victoria CTP is not fault based, therefore even if you are deemed at fault in an accident, you are still able to claim compensation if you are injured.
