Suncorp has again called for changes to Queensland’s at-fault compulsory third party (CTP) scheme, saying the present setup does not ensure that people injured in a motor accident are covered.

The insurer made the call on Saturday at a citizens’ jury organised by RACQ. Insurers have long pushed for a move to a no-fault scheme similar to those in most other states.

“We need to address the unfairness and inequities that see 40% of Queenslanders involved in a motor vehicle accident not eligible to make a CTP claim,” Suncorp Executive Manager for Queensland CTP Dan Wilkinson said.

“Every day our team works to support injured Queensland motorists, so we know first-hand the positive impact a ‘no-fault’ rule would have.

“If you are injured, we also back the introduction of a set of defined benefits, so people will have access to early and appropriate treatment.”

Under a no-fault defined benefits scheme, the focus is on rehabilitation and providing care, treatment and lost income.

However, Queensland’s lawyers are insisting the current scheme looks after injured motorists effectively.
