NSW - Motor Accident Authority
The Motor Accidents Authority is a statutory corporation that regulates the NSW Motor Accidents Scheme. A key component of the program is the Green Slip scheme which is needed to cover the cost to the community of road crash injuries and deaths.
Green Slips cover injuries to people – not damage to property.
In NSW a vehicle cannot be registered without a Green Slip. The Green Slip motor accident injury insurance scheme means drivers can be confident that:
if a driver or motorcycle rider causes a road crash;

other people who are injured will be looked after;
without the driver having to meet the financial cost or face being sued.
In recent years some important benefits have also been extended to injured at-fault drivers and motorcycle riders. This means each Green Slip policy provides more benefits to more people than it did 10 years ago. -

SA - Motor Accident Commission
The Motor Accident Commission (MAC) is South Australia’s Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurer and provides approximately $360 million each year in compensation to road crash victims.
MAC also manages the State Government’s road safety communications program and provides funding for projects that aim to reduce the number and impact of road injuries and deaths.
In South Australia, CTP insurance is built in to the registration process – when you register your vehicle you also pay a CTP insurance premium that is designed to provide cover for people injured in road crashes.
The CTP Fund provides compensation for the victims of road crashes where the owner or driver of a registered motor vehicle or a passenger is at fault.

Victorian – Transport Accident Commission (TAC)
The TAC is a Victorian Government-owned organisation set up in 1986.
Its role is to pay for treatment and benefits for people injured in transport accidents. It is also involved in promoting road safety in Victoria and in improving Victoria’s trauma system.
Funding used by the TAC to perform these functions comes from payments made by Victorian motorists when they register their vehicles each year with VicRoads.
The TAC is a “no-fault” scheme. This means that medical benefits will be paid to an injured person – regardless of who caused the accident.
Legislation guides the TAC in the types of benefits it can pay and any conditions that apply. This legislation is called theTransport Accident Act 1986.
To ensure it remains a long-term compensation scheme, the TAC uses its funds fairly and responsibly. This ensures the TAC is able to meet the needs of seriously injured people who need lifetime care.
