Insurance Returns and Contributions

The Fire Levy

CFA is funded by a variety of sources.  However; the major source of funds is obtained through statutory contributions.  These are collected quarterly in advance as follows:

22.5% from the State Government
77.5% from Insurance Companies (including Brokers and Owners).

Whilst the contribution payable by the State Government is easy to calculate, that payable by Insurance Companies is more complex.

This section of the website is designed to assist Insurance Companies, Insurance Intermediaries (Brokers) and Owners to accurately prepare their returns and premiums to CFA, as set out under the CFA Act 1958.
