Why Claimants Travel With Us

Billed to the Claim

Where travel is approved, we invoice the claim directly. You are not paying upfront and waiting on a reimbursement.

Door to Door

We collect from your door and take you to the right hospital entrance, which matters a great deal while you are recovering.

Appointments Run Over

Treatment and assessment sessions rarely finish on time. Waiting is built into the booking rather than charged as an extra.

Accessible If Needed

Ramp-equipped vehicles are available on request, with drivers trained to load and secure a chair safely.

Recurring Treatment

Physiotherapy and rehab follow a schedule, so we set those up as standing bookings instead of weekly phone calls.

Support People Welcome

A family member, carer or case worker travels with you at no extra charge.

How TAC Transport Works

01

Confirm Your Approval

Check with TAC or your case manager that travel is covered, and get your claim number ready.

02

Book With Your Claim Number

Call us with the claim number, the appointment details and any accessibility requirements.

03

Travel and We Invoice

You travel to the appointment, and we send the invoice to the claim rather than to you.

Appointments We Cover

Hospital Appointments

Outpatient visits, reviews and procedures at Box Hill, Maroondah and hospitals across Melbourne.

Rehabilitation and Physio

Recurring therapy sessions, set up as standing bookings so the car simply arrives.

Medical Assessments

Independent assessments and specialist reviews arranged as part of your claim.

Allied Health

Psychology, occupational therapy and other supports connected to your recovery.

TAC Transport to Treatment

Recovering from a transport accident is hard enough. Getting to the appointments should not add to it.

We provide TAC transport across the eastern suburbs and the wider metropolitan area. Where travel is approved under your claim, we bill TAC directly.

Consequently, you are not paying out of pocket and waiting weeks for a reimbursement.

How Billing Works

Approval sits with TAC rather than with us. Your case manager confirms what your claim covers.

Once that is in place, book with your claim number. We invoice the claim directly, and each invoice itemises the trips.

You can check entitlements and current conditions through the Transport Accident Commission.

Appointments We Cover

The destinations vary, though the pattern is usually regular.

  • Hospital outpatient visits and surgical reviews
  • Physiotherapy, hydrotherapy and rehabilitation sessions
  • Independent medical assessments arranged under the claim
  • Psychology, occupational therapy and allied health
  • Specialist consultations across Melbourne

Door to Door While You Recover

Hospital car parks are a long walk at the best of times. On crutches or in pain they are worse.

We collect from your door and drop at the entrance closest to your department. Likewise, the driver helps you from the car rather than leaving you at the kerb.

Recurring Rehabilitation Bookings

Rehab runs to a schedule, often twice a week for months.

We set those up as standing bookings. Therefore the car arrives without you arranging it every single week.

Accessible Vehicles and Support People

Ramp-equipped vehicles are available on request, with drivers trained to secure a chair properly.

A family member, carer or case worker travels at no extra charge. Our hospital transfers page covers the medical side in more detail.
