Joint medical examinations and reports fees

The TAC has agreed to pay 'reasonable fees' for Joint Medical Examinations. Please refer to the JME Policy for considerations when determining reasonable cost, as the amounts below are to be used as a guide.

In response to COVID-19 the TAC introduced temporary funding of telehealth services to ensure clients can still access the treatments and services they need related to their transport accident.

Effective 1 July 2023
