How to apply

Step 1

If you haven't already, you will need to talk to us about your eligibility for income support. You can call us on 1300 654 329 (Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5:30pm).

When we talk to you, we will ask you for some information, such as:

• your business name
• type of business
• ABN
• contact details for your accountant
• details about what you earned before the accident
• if you have financial dependent(s), their name, date of birth and relationship to you (e.g. wife/husband, partner, child)
• bank account details.

We will use this information to work out if you are eligible for income support and what financial information we need to request.

Step 2

• To work out your income support rate, the TAC will send you a letter advising what information we required to determine your rate.

We deduct tax from income support payments. To ensure we withhold the correct amount you must complete a tax file number (TFN) declaration.

If you hire someone to do your work

If you hire someone to do your work while you are injured, we need information to confirm your eligibility for income support. You can contact the TAC on 1300 654 329 (Monday to Friday, 8.30am to 5.30pm ).
