Who pays my compensation?
The person or organisation responsible for your road accident will be held accountable for your damages. In Queensland, all drivers must be covered by a minimum of third-party insurance (CTP) so in most cases, it’s the at fault parties insurance company who pays your compensation.
In Queensland, the Motor Accident Insurance Commission (MAIC) is the regulatory authority responsible for the Compulsory Third Party (CTP) scheme but they do not provide the insurance.
As of 2018, there are 4 providers of CTP in QLD, which include:
- AAI Limited (trading as Suncorp)
- Allianz Australia Insurance Limited
- RACQ Insurance Limited (trading as RACQ Insurance)
