About CTP Assist

Independent help with your NSW CTP claim. We're not the government, an insurer, a law firm or a medical practice.

CTP Assist is an independent service for people hurt in a motor accident in NSW. We help you understand the CTP scheme, get your claim ready and lodged, and we stay with you while the insurer decides.

What we do

We help people injured in a motor accident in NSW with their CTP claim, by phone and online, anywhere in the state.

  1. Understand

    We explain the NSW CTP scheme in plain English: what you can claim, who you claim against and the time limits that apply to you.

  2. Prepare

    We help you get your claim ready: the right insurer, a Certificate of Fitness from your doctor, the police event number and the claim form.

  3. Lodge

    We go through the claim form with you and help get your claim to the insurer.

  4. Stay with you

    While the insurer decides, call us about a letter, a date or what happens next, and we'll go through it with you.

When your case needs it, and only if you agree, we introduce you to an independent CTP lawyer, a doctor experienced with CTP claims, or allied health. Many claims never need a lawyer, and we'll tell you if yours doesn't look like it does.

Why we exist

A CTP claim usually comes at a hard time. You're hurt, you may be off work, and there are forms, certificates and time limits to deal with, often in the first few weeks.

We think everyone should have someone to go through it with them, and a choice about who that is.

What you can expect from us

  • Plain English

    No jargon. If we use a scheme term, like threshold injury or Certificate of Fitness, we'll explain it.

  • No pressure

    You decide what happens at every stage, and you can stop whenever you like.

  • Your choice of provider

    You can keep your own GP, treating team or lawyer. If we suggest someone, it's only a suggestion.

  • Your privacy

    We share your details with a provider only if you agree to that specific referral.

  • No promises we can't keep

    Only the insurer decides your claim. We never promise an outcome, an amount or a timeframe.

Being clear

What we're not

So you always know who you're dealing with.

  • Not the government

    We're independent. We're not a government agency or service, and we're not connected with Service NSW.

  • Not an insurer

    The CTP insurer decides your claim. We're not affiliated with any insurer.

  • Not a law firm

    We don't give legal advice and we don't act for anyone. For advice on your own situation, see an independent lawyer.

  • Not a medical practice

    We don't give medical advice or treatment. Your doctor does that.

  • We don't make first contact

    We only call people who ask us to. We don't cold-call, text or message anyone about an accident.

Keeping information accurate

Our guides explain the NSW CTP rules as we understand them, checked against primary sources, such as the scheme regulator's guidance, Service NSW and the Personal Injury Commission. Each guide shows when it was last checked.

Rules change, so check the current position with the insurer or a lawyer before you rely on it. If you spot something wrong or out of date, email us at info@ctpassist.au and we'll fix it.
