The details

TAC funding: what you need to know

What is TAC?
The Transport Accident Commission (TAC) is Victoria's no-fault transport accident insurance scheme. If you're injured in a transport accident in Victoria — as a driver, passenger, cyclist, motorcyclist or pedestrian — TAC covers your treatment, rehabilitation, and income support, regardless of who was at fault.
What does TAC cover?
TAC covers medical and hospital treatment, allied health (physio, OT, psychology, exercise physiology), nursing, personal care, domestic assistance, rehabilitation programs, income replacement, travel to appointments, and home or vehicle modifications related to your transport accident injury.
How much does TAC pay for income support?
TAC generally pays a percentage of your pre-accident average weekly earnings while you're unable to work due to your injury, with rates reviewed over time. The exact amount and duration depend on your circumstances — TAC or your case manager can confirm your current entitlement.
Can I get a lump sum?
If your injuries result in a permanent impairment above a certain threshold, you may be eligible for a lump sum impairment benefit through TAC, separate from your ongoing treatment and income support. A TAC-specialist lawyer can advise whether you meet the threshold.
Can I also access NDIS?
It's possible. TAC is generally the primary funder for injuries covered by the scheme, but where a transport accident results in a permanent disability, NDIS supports may be considered alongside TAC. Speak with your TAC case manager about how the two interact in your situation.
Does Karista charge me anything?
No. Karista is free to use. We never charge participants and we never take referral fees from providers. Our recommendations are always in your best interest with zero commercial bias.
Can I claim common law compensation?
If your injuries meet a threshold of serious injury and were caused by someone else's negligence, you may be able to pursue a common law claim for damages in addition to your statutory TAC benefits. Time limits apply, so it's worth speaking with a specialist TAC lawyer as soon as possible.

This is general information about the TAC scheme, not legal or financial advice. Thresholds, caps and payment rates are set by TAC and reviewed periodically — confirm current figures with TAC directly or with a specialist TAC lawyer before relying on them.

What we match you to

The 8 services TAC funds. Karista matches you to the right one.

Every TAC client's recovery looks different. Karista matches you to specialists across these eight categories based on your injury, your goals, and what's available near you.

Physiotherapy

Get moving again, safely.

Spinal rehab, neurological recovery, post-surgical mobilisation, pain management, strength and mobility training. Early physio is the single biggest factor in long-term recovery. The earlier you start, the better the outcome.

Find a physiotherapist

Occupational Therapy

Make your home, your car, and your life work for you.

Functional assessments for your home, workplace, and vehicle. Adaptive equipment recommendations. Daily living skills retraining. If your environment doesn't fit your body anymore, OT makes it fit.

Exercise Physiology

Rebuild your strength. Prevent what comes next.

Graded exercise programs for cardiovascular health, deconditioning, chronic pain, and core stability. Complements physio by building the fitness base your recovery depends on.

Find an exercise physiologist

Psychology

Your mind took the hit too.

Trauma, PTSD, adjustment to acquired disability, chronic pain psychology, grief, anxiety, and relationship strain. A transport accident changes everything. Psychology helps you process it, not just survive it.

Find a psychologist

Personal Care

Help with the basics, when you need it most.

Showering, dressing, toileting, transfers, meal prep, and medication prompting. When your body can't do what it used to, personal care support keeps you safe, clean, and dignified at home.

Find personal care support

Nursing

Clinical care, delivered to your door.

Wound management, catheter care, bowel and bladder programs, PEG feeding, medication administration, pressure injury prevention, and health monitoring. Hospital-grade care in your own home.

Find a community nurse

Support Worker

Get back out into the world.

Community access, social participation, transport to appointments, workplace support, daily living assistance, and overnight care. A support worker helps you rebuild a life, not just manage an injury.

Domestic & Home Help

Keep your home running while you recover.

Cleaning, laundry, grocery shopping, meal preparation, and household errands. Recovery is a full-time job. Let someone else handle the house.
