Counselling

Counselling services

The MAIB can pay for counselling for any member of the immediate family of a person who is severely injured and requires daily care. The person who is injured in the accident must have an accepted MAIB claim.

The maximum amount payable for counselling services is $1,270 per family member for motor accidents on or after 17 February 2020.

How to claim the counselling services benefits:

  • Please provide details to the MAIB of who may seek counselling services and evidence of their relationship to the injured person.

How are the counselling services bills paid?

  • In most cases your counsellor will invoice the MAIB directly.
  • If you have paid a bill yourself, send the original receipt to the MAIB for reimbursement. Make a copy of the receipt for your own records.

Road Trauma Support Tasmania also provides free counselling and support for people affected by road accidents, whatever your involvement may have been.
