The TAC provides no-fault support after a transport accident — medical treatment and income support regardless of fault — with strict time limits to lodge.
The Transport Accident Commission (TAC) runs Victoria's no-fault scheme for people injured in transport accidents. ‘No-fault' means you can generally access support for reasonable medical expenses, and income support if you can't work, regardless of who caused the accident.
Lodge a TAC claim as soon as possible — there are time limits, and lodging promptly helps treatment and income support start sooner. Keep records of treatment and time off work.
Separately, if your injury is serious and meets the legal threshold, you may also have a common-law claim for damages — with its own strict deadlines. Get advice early so nothing is missed.
