No, Third Party Property Damage insurance isn’t the same as Compulsory third party (CTP), but it’s easy to get them confused.
CTP only covers anyone who is injured as a result of an accident that’s deemed your fault. CTP (also known as Green Slip in New South Wales) is a mandatory requirement for all registered cars. Third Party Property Damage insurance, on the other hand, provides legal liability for any damage you cause to someone’s belongings or property if you’re at fault for an accident.
All cars on Australia’s roads have to be registered with the State Government where you reside, and CTP or Green Slip insurance is a part of registering your vehicle. Any other car insurance coverage you take out beyond CTP is purely optional.
Some states allow you to choose your CTP insurer, while others don’t. In contrast, you can compare and choose your Third Party Property Damage insurance provider no matter where you are in Australia.
