The Transport Accident Commission (TAC) runs Victoria’s no-fault scheme for people injured in transport accidents — cars, motorbikes, bikes, trams, trains and more. ‘No-fault’ means you can generally access support for reasonable medical and like expenses, and income support if you can’t work, regardless of who caused the accident.
You should lodge a TAC claim as soon as possible — there are time limits, and lodging promptly helps your treatment and income support start sooner. Keep records of your treatment and any time off work.
Separately, if your injury is serious and meets the legal threshold, you may also have a common-law claim for damages against an at-fault party — these have their own strict deadlines. It’s worth getting advice early so you don’t miss anything.
