To streamline the Compulsory Third Party (CTP) process and enhance support for claimants, the Motor Accident Insurance Commission (MAIC) has recently conducted a series of innovative experiments.
This month we have been reflecting and celebrating on the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the Motor Accident Insurance Commission (MAIC).
In 2022, MAIC provided funding to the Queensland Trucking Association (QTA) to develop and implement First on Scene, a pilot program that incorporated first aid and crash scene management training tailored to heavy vehicle drivers. With the assistance of Queensland Ambulance, Energy Australia, St John’s Ambulance and the Queensland Police Service, this pilot has recently been completed and resulted in the training being delivered to 129 truck drivers across Queensland.
To coincide with Queensland Road Safety Week, we recently hosted representatives from PCYC’s Braking the Cycle learner driver mentor program. MAIC’s funding of this award-winning program commenced in 2017 and since this time has supported learner drivers without access to a supervisor or registered vehicle to complete their logbook hours. The aim of the program is to reduce unlicensed driving as well as enhancing increased employment opportunities, community connection and road safety education.
