Frequently asked questions
On 1 February 2020 the Motor Accident Injuries (MAI) Insurance scheme replaced the Compulsory Third Party (CTP) scheme.
If your accident happened before 1 February 2020, give us a call on 13 22 44 and we can help you lodge your claim.
For more information on MAI Insurance, visit the Motor Accident Injuries Commission website.
To make an application, you must report your motor vehicle accident to the police. If your accident has not been reported or the police did not attend the accident, please report the accident via the Police Assistance Line (13 14 44) within 28 days after the accident. If it has been longer than 28 days and you haven’t reported your accident, please contact us on 13 22 44.
Income replacement benefits provide fortnightly payments for injured people who have suffered a total or partial loss of earnings as a result of injuries suffered in a motor vehicle accident. When we receive your application we assess your eligibility for income replacement benefits in accordance with the Motor Accident Injuries Act 2019 (ACT), and the associated Regulations and Guidelines.
A key objective of the MAI Insurance scheme is to encourage early and appropriate treatment and care of people injured in motor accidents to achieve optimum recovery and return to pre-accident levels of activity and work.
Treatment and care as recommended by your treating health practitioner(s) will be supported on acceptance of your claim for defined benefits, provided that the recommended services, treatment and costs are reasonable and necessary and relate to injuries caused by the motor vehicle accident.
Your treating health practitioner(s) will be required to submit a request, referral or plan to outline your treatment needs. This process is called the pre-approval process.
We review all requests against set criteria to help support your recovery and assist you to return to your pre-accident activities.
Follow the steps above to lodge your application. You will need to submit the following documents in full:
- Application for Personal Injury Benefits
- Medical Report
The Medical Report and Certificate of Fitness for Work (if applicable) must be completed by your usual general practitioner. To avoid delays please make sure they are fully completed, dated and signed.
Please send these forms to us in writing no later than 13 weeks after the date of the motor vehicle accident if you intend to make a claim.
Your application should also include copies of any payments made for treatment expenses, as you may be entitled to claim reimbursement for these expenses.
After we receive your completed application form, we lodge the application and give it a claim number. Your claim number is a unique number to identify your claim. You can provide this claim number to your treating health practitioner(s) to use in their correspondence with us.
We reimburse any reasonable and necessary treatment, care or travel expenses incurred in relation to injuries caused by the motor vehicle accident – even if you have already paid these expenses. Contact your claims advisor to discuss the expenses that can be reimbursed.
You may be eligible to claim funeral expenses if you paid, or are liable to pay, these expenses for your family member.
- transport expenses, including the cost of transporting a deceased’s remains interstate or overseas
- the cost of obtaining a death certificate and any permits
- funeral director fees
- expenses of, or associated with, a cremation or burial, and
- expenses of, or associated with, a funeral or memorial ceremony.
