Car accidents in Victoria

Victoria runs a distinctive no-fault transport accident scheme through the Transport Accident Commission. This page covers what is specific to Victoria.

Personal injury cover

The Transport Accident Commission (TAC) administers Victoria's transport accident scheme, funded through a charge collected with vehicle registration. It covers treatment and support for people injured in transport accidents, and it operates differently from CTP schemes in other states.

Reporting a crash

Victoria Police publish when a collision must be reported. Requirements generally turn on injury, failure to exchange details, or property damage where the owner cannot be located.

If someone was injured in Victoria

The TAC scheme is the starting point for injury following a transport accident in Victoria. The TAC publishes how to lodge a claim, what it covers and the applicable time limits.

Because the Victorian scheme differs materially from other states, do not assume advice written for another state applies here.

The steps are the same everywhere

What differs between states is the injury scheme and the reporting rules. What to do at the scene does not.
