How does a TAC claim work in Victoria?

The TAC scheme can help pay for treatment and support after a road accident, whoever was at fault — but there are steps and time limits. We guide you through it.

TAC claims

The Transport Accident Commission (TAC) is Victoria’s no-fault scheme for people injured in a transport accident. It can help with medical treatment, income support and other benefits — regardless of who was at fault.

What it can cover

Reasonable medical and like expenses, some loss of earnings, and support for recovery. Certain more serious injuries may open further entitlements.

Steps and time limits

A claim should be lodged within the required time, and keeping medical records and receipts is important. Missing a deadline can affect your entitlements.

How we help

We help you lodge correctly, gather the right evidence, and pursue the entitlements available — so you can focus on recovering. Book a consult to start.
