What is CTP Insurance?
Compulsory Third Party (CTP) Insurance is attached to the registration of your vehicle and provides protection to the at-fault driver against compensation claims from people injured in a motor vehicle accident.
If I'm the at-fault driver, what am I covered for?
CTP Insurance covers your liability for injuring others in an accident while you're behind the wheel. So, if anyone other than you is injured or dies — whether it's other drivers, passengers in your car or in other cars, pedestrians, cyclists or motorcyclists — CTP helps take care of their compensation claims.
With Driver Protection Cover, you’re covered for up to $2 million in benefits for specified serious injuries if your car is also comprehensively insured with Suncorp Insurance (or up to $1 million if it isn't).
If the injured person is unable to work, or needs medical treatment, your CTP insurer pays them out a lump sum. This is designed to help cover their medical and rehabilitation treatment, as well as any loss of income related to the accident.
If you've sustained life-changing, serious injuries in a motor vehicle accident, you may be eligible to receive support through the National Injury Insurance Scheme, Queensland (NIISQ) — regardless of who's at fault.

Frequently Asked Questions
Thousands of people are involved in motor vehicle accidents every year. If injured, they'll need medical attention and often rehabilitation. CTP Insurance covers you by providing compensation to other people injured in a motor vehicle accident caused by a negligent driver. Those 'other people' could be other drivers, passengers (in your car and other vehicles), pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists - basically anybody hurt as a result of the accident, except you, if you're the at fault driver.
CTP insurance is compulsory and is included with your vehicle registration. Therefore, if you cancel the registration of your vehicle with the Department of Transport and Main Roads (DTMR), your CTP insurance is cancelled at the same time.
Despite what a lot of people think, it's actually quite easy to switch your CTP insurer. For Queensland CTP, you can switch to Suncorp CTP today – it’s easy and takes only a couple of minutes.
Our Driver Protection Cover provides you with some cover for eligible at-fault drivers injured in a car accident, at no extra cost. The cover includes:

- Access to a lump sum payment of $5,000 which may help pay for upfront costs like medical and rehabilitation expenses.
In QLD, your CTP Insurance is included in your rego, and covers the same period of time your rego does. This means every time you renew, you remain covered. When you complete your rego, you also have the option to select a different CTP insurer from your last, such as a provider like Suncorp Insurance. In other states of Australia, CTP Insurance is purchased in different ways. Check with your relevant state or territory department of transport for more information.
