General insurer, Youi Pty Ltd, has received permission to enter the NSW CTP market from 1 December 2020. It is the first insurer to join the CTP scheme for many years and the only new entrant since reform in December 2017.
The sixth CTP insurer
Since 1998, the number of licensed insurers has dropped from 13 to five, owned by only four insurance groups. The most recent dropouts were Zurich in March 2016 and CIC Allianz in mid-January 2019.
Youi will be the sixth CTP insurer in the NSW scheme, with AAMI, Allianz, GIO, NRMA Insurance and QBE. This could create more competition in insurer pricing.
State Insurance Regulatory Authority (SIRA) is satisfied the insurer meets all requirements under the Act and has the capacity and financial sustainability to join the scheme.
