[CTP and Tasmania]
Urgent notice — are you aware that your CTP doesn’t cover you in Tasmania for a single vehicle crash?

A NSW rider recently contacted the MCCNSW about receiving a bill of nearly $20,000 for a helicopter ride from Ambulance Tasmania. The helicopter jaunt followed his [NSW-registered] single vehicle motorcycle crash in Tasmania. The bill has been rejected by his NSW CTP insurer as the crash was outside NSW. The Tasmanian Motor Accident Insurance Board, on the other hand, also rejected his claim as the crash did not involve a Tasmanian registered vehicle. Had the rider been riding a Tasmanian registered hire bike, he would have been covered.

The MCCNSW wrote to the Minister for Customer Service, Victor Dominello MP asking what riders should do to cover themselves when riding interstate. He suggested taking out other forms of insurance to cover health costs associated with personal injuries, such as private health or travel insurance.

Have you had a similar situation with your NSW-registered vehicle when riding outside the state? We want to hear from you.
