The above table is based on claims accepted by the TAC from people with injuries sustained in transport accidents in Victoria, where the injured person was admitted to hospital within 7 days of crash and was continually admitted for 15 or more nights. Excluded are denied and pending claims, and claims related to crashes occurring interstate.
* includes pillion riders
Note: Data is updated monthly from TAC claims databases. A six-month reporting lag is applied to the data, allowing for claims to be lodged and processed, and hospital invoices to be received and processed. Claims are reported by claim acceptance date. Data is subject to revision as additional information about known claims is received, and as new claims are received and processed.

Road safety pannel

The TAC is currently working toward simplifying the process of engaging road safety advisory services. In order to achieve this, a non-exclusive panel of road safety experts will be established

In order to comply with the TAC procurement policy and in the interest of best practice governance, the TAC will approach the open market to seek expressions of interest for inclusion on the panel.  This approach will be in the format of a Request for Tender (RFT).
