Health, disability and compensation research

Health Disability and Compensation (HDC) Research at the TAC aims to invest in and translate high-quality health, disability and compensation research to provide evidence-based insights that are used to meet the TAC’s strategic objectives of supporting people after road trauma get their lives back on track.

Through our research investment, the TAC provides high-quality, outcome-focused health and disability services, as well as continues to improve our business model, systems and processes. By investing in health, disability and compensation research we ensure that the business has access to, and uses, high-quality evidence to develop policy and practice. In the Research and Evaluation team, three streams provide strategic research planning and research program management, translation and communications, and evidence and evaluation functions.
