Occupational Therapy
To improve function, increase independence and to source the best medical equipment to meet injury related need.
Vocational Rehabilitation
To assist you to understand and manage your injury, and to safely return to work.
Support Needs Assessment
To determine the correct levels of Attendant Care Support to maximise your recovery and independence.
Case Management
Assistance to understand what has happened to you and to source the best possible services in your community to meet your injury related need and any pre-injury issue that may impact on your recovery.
If you are not able to perform your work duties as a result of the injury sustained in the motor accident, MAIB can assist you by paying a temporary loss of income allowance while you recover enough to return to your work.
Should you be unable to carry out your normal household duties as a result of your injury, MAIB can assist with a temporary allowance to enable you to engage someone to assist you with these duties.
Should you need to travel more than 20 kilometres each way to obtain medical treatment as a result of your injury, MAIB can reimburse your reasonable travel expenses. We can assist with taxi travel expenses on a temporary basis should you be medically certified as unable to drive due to your injuries. Travel by public transport may also be claimed.
