In Australia, Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance covers third parties for serious bodily injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident.

This insurance can cover the costs of home care providers and other expenses related to the injuries incurred in the accident. If you have a client injured in a motor vehicle accident qualifying for support under CTP, it is important to know the following.

Recent legislation changes are designed to ensure the availability of Government funded home care services through a Lifetime Support Scheme.

Home Care Providers for Compulsory 3rd Party The Legal Profession

This is a no-fault scheme managed by the Lifetime Support Authority. According to the new legislation the Lifetime Support Scheme will cover the following services for the duration of the injured person’s life:

  • Treatment
  • Disability care
  • Rehabilitation
  • Aids and appliances
  • Motor vehicle modifications.

Claims for any additional compensation will be the responsibility of the driver or their insurer.

The Lifetime Support Scheme is affiliated with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS), which covers the costs of home care providers for people who are disabled (temporarily or permanently) in a car accident.

The legislation aims to make it easier for the injured person to continue to live a quality life from home. It also helps to ensure that the home care providers are able to supply a quality service and that the costs of the provision of these services are reasonable and competitive.

The Lifetime Support Scheme Secures Government Funded Home Care Services

The Lifetime Support Scheme is affiliated with the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) which covers the care costs for people who are disabled, providing government-funded home care services.

Lifetime Care and Support provides in-home care to people who have been disabled in a motor vehicle accident. This allows them to live a more independent life in familiar surroundings, remaining an active part of the community.
