FOI Request – Motorcycle Third Party Property Damage Claim Payouts
Dear FOI Officer,
I am making a request under the Freedom of Information Act 1982.
I am seeking access to data submitted to APRA by general insurers under the General Insurance Reporting Framework (GRF), or any equivalent internal claims dataset maintained by APRA.
Request:
I request a dataset showing the individual dollar amounts paid out for insurance claims involving motorcycles under Third Party Property Damage (TPPD) motor vehicle insurance, for the period from 1 January 2018 to 31 December 2023.
I am not requesting any personally identifiable information. I only seek the raw claim payout amounts (one amount per row). If the data includes a field to identify vehicle type (e.g. "motorcycle"), that is acceptable and encouraged.
If available, I would prefer the data in a machine-readable format (e.g. CSV or Excel).
If this request can be fulfilled using extracts from submissions such as GRF 410.0 or GRF 420.0, or from any internal databases compiled from those submissions, I would be happy to accept data in that format.
Please let me know if you require any clarification.
Kind regards,
Jonathan Elias

The functions and powers of the ARPC are set out in sections 10 and 11 of the Act. The ARPC's main functions are to provide insurance cover for eligible terrorism losses and to operate a cyclone and related flood damage reinsurance pool. The ARPC has power to do all things necessary or convenient to be done for or in connection with the performance of its functions. In the performance of its functions, the ARPC may engage in discussions with and provide information to insurers concerning the provision by the ARPC of reinsurance cover for 'eligible terrorism losses' and 'eligible cyclone losses' within the meaning of the Act. The ARPC does not hold itself out as providing legal or other advice to insurers, the public or anyone else in relation to the interpretation, construction or application of the Act or regulations made under the Act or the reinsurance cover provided by the ARPC, and does not do so. The ARPC provides general information only on its website, in its publications and in the course of its discussions and other dealings with insurers and their representatives about the Act, the regulations made pursuant to the Act and ARPC's reinsurance agreements with respect to 'eligible terrorism losses' and 'eligible cyclone losses'. That information does not constitute legal or other advice and should not be relied on as such. Insurers and their representatives dealing with or proposing to deal with the ARPC should obtain their own legal and other professional advice for the purpose of making decisions (including in relation to dealing with the ARPC and in relation to the reinsurance cover provided by the ARPC) and otherwise on any matter in connection with the Act.

Dear Mr Elias,
Please find attached APRA’s Notice of Decision for FOI request 25-64 dated
5 June 2025.
To provide some context for the decision, please note APRA collects data
on motor vehicle insurance (including third party property damage)
covering private use motor vehicles including utilities and lorries,
motorcycles, private caravans, box and boat trailers, and other vehicles
not normally covered by business or commercial policies. However, APRA
does not collect data on the amounts of individual claims. Rather, the
data collected by APRA on motor vehicle insurance is the total claims paid
per insurer each quarter.
Kind regards,
FOI Officer
