How to get a refund on your green slip by September 30

NSW car owners might be entitled to a refund on their CTP green slip if they bought or renewed their green slip before December 1, 2017.

If the car was registered in Sydney metro, Outer metro, Newcastle, or Wollongong region and the insurance premium was paid from February 2017 onward you will probably be eligible for a refund.

If you're from a country region you'll probably be eligible if you paid for your green slip from May 2017 onward.

The closer to December 1 you purchased your policy the bigger the refund is likely to be. The minimum refund is $10 and an administration fee will be charged.

If you're one of the four million people eligible for a refund you can apply online now at service.nsw.gov.au.

You can apply for your CTP refund online between 7pm and 7am Monday to Saturday and all day Sunday. You will need a MyServiceNSW account to apply.

There have been reports of the website not working due to the large number of people applying. If you have any problems the good news is you have until September 30 to apply. So possibly make a note in your diary to try again in a few weeks.
