How we can help you challenge a TAC decision about treatment

In summary: When the TAC says your ongoing symptoms no longer relate to your accident, it can leave you worried about treatment. In Victoria, the TAC, or Transport Accident Commission, manages many road accident claims. Maurice Blackburn is here to explain what the decision and your records could mean.

What does a treatment cut-off mean for you?

A treatment cut-off means the TAC has decided not to fund particular treatment or support. Its decision letter should explain its reasons. The reason given, your medical records and the available review process can help clarify the next step.
