What is TAC
The Transport Accident Commission (TAC) is a statutory body in Victoria, Australia, established in 1986. Its primary role is to provide support and compensation to people who have been injured in transport accidents, regardless of who was at fault. This includes providing benefits for medical expenses, loss of wages, and rehabilitation. The TAC is funded by a levy on Victorian drivers and is an no-fault insurance scheme, meaning that people do not have to prove fault to receive support. The TAC works to reduce the number of transport accidents and injuries through road safety initiatives and campaigns, promoting safe road usage and encouraging investment in road infrastructure improvements.
