Injury compensation schemes are vital pathways for rehabilitation and recovery after road trauma or workplace accidents, particularly for injured people with complex needs. Across Australia, personal injury compensation schemes, including for workers’ compensation and motor vehicle accident compensation, vary significantly in terms of entitlements and benefits. Furthermore, unfortunately the claims process can also be a health risk factor with current compensation research indicating that involvement in compensation claims processes is associated with poor physical and psychological health outcomes. The evidence base pinpointing explanations for this link is sketchy and underdeveloped. Essentially, it shows associations of multiple factors in claimant outcomes and no clear indication of causal relationships. In Queensland, the Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance scheme provides the ability for individuals injured as the result of another driver’s negligence to claim compensation for injuries and access to medical and rehabilitation services. The compulsory insurance premium is paid for by the owner of the vehicle at time of registration, and covers financial liability if they are found to be ‘at fault’ for the accident.
