Am I Eligible for CTP Compensation After a Car Accident?
If you were injured in a car accident, then it is likely you may be entitled to claim compensation through the Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance scheme. This can include coverage for:
- Medical treatment and rehabilitation
- Lost income
- Domestic assistance
- Pain and suffering (in some cases)
If you were at fault, you might still be able to claim up to $5,000 for initial medical costs and lost income within the first six months. Severe injuries may qualify you for additional care under the icare Lifetime Care scheme. Contact us to confirm your eligibility.
What Are the Deadlines for Submitting a Car Accident Claim?
The time to lodge a car accident claim varies from state to state and territory to territory. In some places like NSW, you must lodge your claim within 28 days of the accident to get income loss benefits from the accident date. In other places like Queensland, you may have 3 months or 12 months to claim. You may also need to explain any delays.

- Lost income: Payments for wages missed during your recovery.
- Pain and suffering: Compensation for serious injuries resulting in permanent impairment.

Do I Need Insurance to Make a Claim?
CTP insurance is mandatory for all registered vehicles in Australia, so compensation is typically paid by the at-fault rider or driver’s CTP insurer. If the at-fault rider or driver is uninsured or unidentified (e.g., in a hit-and-run), you may still be able to claim through the state’s motor accident fund.
