68 Application for insurer licence—Act, s 145J (a)
(1) An application for an insurer licence by an insurer (the applicant)
must—
(a) include evidence of an authorisation under the Insurance
Act 1973 (Cwlth), section 12 to carry on an insurance business
in Australia; and
(b) if the applicant is applying for a corresponding licence—include
evidence of the application; and
(c) if the applicant has a corresponding licence—include evidence
of the licence and any conditions on the licence; and
(d) include evidence that the applicant has adequate reinsurance, or
other arrangements in place, to cover the applicant’s future
liability under the Act; and
(e) comply with any protocol relating to applying for a licence.
(2) The regulator may, in writing, require further evidence from an
applicant that demonstrates the applicant—
(a) is financially and prudentially sound; or
(b) will be able to meet any obligations as an insurer under the Act
in relation to injury management programs and personal injury

corresponding licence means a licence under a State law that has the
same effect, or substantially the same effect, as an insurer licence.
