Some limitations may apply and funding is in accordance with agreed fee schedules.
The maximum total sum payable for medical and disability benefits (including Ambulance, Hospital, Treatment, aids/equipment, medical appliances, home modifications, travel and housekeeping) is $400,000.00. For accidents on or after 1 August 2012, this may be increased to $500,000.00 subject to the injured person being an in-patient at a hospital for a continuous period of more than 4 days commencing on the date of the accident.
Should you need to travel more than 20 kilometres each way to obtain medical treatment as a result of your injury, we can reimburse your reasonable travel expenses for travel by private vehicle. We can assist with taxi transport expenses on a temporary basis should you be medically certified as unable to drive or use public transport due to your injury. Travel by public transport may also be claimed.
