Abstract

The Transport Accident Commission of Victoria (TAC) was established, and is governed by, the Transport Accident Act 1986. The TAC administers a comprehensive no-fault compensation scheme for Victorians who are injured or die as a result of a transport accident. The Act also provides the TAC with a role in accident prevention and reducing the cost of transport accidents to the Victorian Community. As a partner with other Government road safety agencies under Victoria’s road safety strategy, the TAC’s primary role is to introduce initiatives to modify road user attitudes and behaviour. It is also involved in programs to improve vehicle safety and improve road infrastructure in Victoria. This paper sets out to describe the TAC’s role in road safety in Victoria and detail through example some of the programs it has developed to both reduce incidence and cost of trauma on Victoria’s roads.
