The Restorative Justice Survey is open to all TAC clients to help us understand more about their preferences for our Restorative Justice Program. The survey closes 31 January 2025. Participation is optional and will not affect a client's TAC claim in any way.

The Restorative Justice Program offers our clients new pathways to address their justice needs after a transport accident, to further support their recovery journey. It is a non-legal process that recognises the impact of road trauma and can help repair the emotional and psychological harm that was caused, regardless of who was at fault.

The program is delivered in partnership with Open Circle at the Centre for Innovative Justice at RMIT University.

The Injury Support Program (ISP) is being delivered by our external partner Honeysuckle Health.

Honeysuckle Health have a team of experienced Injury Nurse Coordinators who will work with eligible clients to link you with high value care and supports in the local community. The ISP aims to identify and address barriers to recovery gaps in care and provide proactive, evidence-based injury management care coordination.

The program is designed to complement the usual treatment and support you would receive to help in your recovery.

Eligible TAC clients may receive an SMS notification from Honeysuckle Health inviting you to participate in the program. The SMS will advise clients to expect a call from Honeysuckle Health within 48 hours; the sender ID will be a mobile phone number.

Your participation in the program is voluntary. The TAC pays Honeysuckle Health to deliver the program to you.  It does not cost you anything.

For further information about your participation in the Injury Support Program, please refer to the Injury Support Program Information Sheet.
