How do I lodge a MAIB claim in Tasmania?
Contact the MAIB on 1800 006 224 or lodge online at maib.tas.gov.au. Provide accident details, the registration of any involved vehicle, medical certificate, and earnings evidence. The MAIB then processes statutory benefits.
Who can claim under MAIB?
Anyone injured in a Tasmanian motor accident: drivers, passengers, motorcyclists, cyclists and pedestrians, regardless of fault. The scheme is funded by an annual MAIB premium included in your registration.
What does MAIB pay for?
Reasonable and necessary medical and rehabilitation expenses, loss of earnings (capped weekly), travel to treatment, and (for serious injuries) attendant care. Common-law damages can add pain and suffering and economic loss damages where another party's negligence caused the injury.
