The Motor Accident Insurance Commission (MAIC) has legislative functions defined under the Motor Accident Insurance Act 1994 to:
- provide funds for research and education in the field of rehabilitation and the provision of rehabilitation services
- provide funds for research into the causes of motor vehicle accidents and their prevention.
MAIC grants funding focuses on injury prevention and rehabilitation; supporting activities that aim to eliminate or reduce the incidence of motor vehicle accidents or improve the treatment and rehabilitation of people who are injured.
