The Motor Accident Insurance Commission (MAIC), in consultation with insurers and health professionals, has developed rehabilitation standards for Queensland Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurers to ensure an injured person who has lodged a CTP claim receives timely, appropriate and reasonable rehabilitation, regardless of which CTP insurer is involved. The Rehabilitation standards for CTP insurers aim to:
- provide CTP insurers with best-practice industry standards when providing rehabilitation to injured people with CTP claims
- promote a culture of continuous improvement amongst CTP insurers in meeting their rehabilitation obligations
- encourage a consistent approach to rehabilitation within and between CTP insurers.
MAIC has also issued guidelines to give CTP insurers practical guidance to assist in the provision of appropriate and reasonable rehabilitation to injured people in line with rehabilitation standards. The rehabilitation standards and related guidelines apply to the management of claims from the date of issue, and as updated from time to time, whether the claim was made before or after that date.
