About

The Motor Accident Injuries Commission (MAIC) is a new statutory authority responsible for the ongoing management of the new scheme in the Australian Capital Territory.

If you are injured in a motor vehicle accident, the scheme you are covered under depends on the date of the accident, not the date of the application. Any claims for accidents that occurred before 1 February 2020 will be managed under the Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance scheme, regardless of when the claim is made. Visit Treasury website to find out more about the CTP scheme.
