Transport Accident Commission (TAC)

The Transport Accident Commission (TAC) is an insurance scheme owned by the Victorian Government that provides support and compensation to people that are injured on our roads in a transport-related accident. 

​

West Wimmera Health Service (WWHS) is a registered in-home care provider for the TAC and can provide medical care and rehabilitation to help people recover from their injuries, or if the injury is significant, permanent and ongoing we can provide a variety of supports to help you achieve your independence goals.

How to access

To access TAC funded services, people who have been injured in a transport-related accident should make a TAC claim by calling the TAC on 1300 654 329 or visiting their website www.tac.vic.gov.au and completing an online lodgment form.  

​

​We can support you with this step, so please contact us and ask to speak with our TAC Coordinator and we can start the process together.

Cost

The TAC will fully fund services approved under each individual TAC claim therefore the only costs to clients would be for services that are not covered under their claim.
