If you have lost a family member in a transport accident the TAC can help by providing information, financial support and advice.
The TAC can provide support with funeral costs and counselling services. The TAC may also provide financial support for dependants.
Interstate accidents
If you were involved in a transport accident that occurred outside the state of Victoria you may be entitled to TAC benefits if you are a Victorian resident or a passenger in a Victorian registered vehicle.
