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.
