Call Triple Zero (000)Personal injury cover
The Motor Accidents Insurance Board (MAIB) provides Tasmania's motor accident personal injury scheme, funded through a premium collected with vehicle registration. It provides benefits for people injured in motor accidents.
Reporting a crash
Tasmania Police publish when a crash must be reported. Requirements generally involve injury, failure to exchange details, or damage above a threshold.
If someone was injured in Tasmania
MAIB publishes how to lodge a claim, what benefits are available and the time limits. Notify them early — Tasmania's scheme has its own notification expectations.
