Call Triple Zero (000)Personal injury cover
CTP insurance in NSW — the green slip — covers personal injury from a motor accident. The scheme is regulated by the State Insurance Regulatory Authority (SIRA), which publishes how claims are made and what benefits are available.
Reporting a crash
The NSW Police Force sets out when a crash must be reported. Reporting is generally expected where someone is injured, a driver fails to stop or exchange details, or a vehicle has to be towed away.
If someone was injured in NSW
The NSW motor accident injury scheme is administered under SIRA. Start with the SIRA material for how to lodge, what is covered and the applicable time limits.
Reporting a crash in NSW
Check the current NSW Police guidance for reporting requirements and how to report. If police attend, get the event number.
The steps are the same everywhere
What differs between states is the injury scheme and the reporting rules. What to do at the scene does not.
