What should I do after a car accident in Sydney?

Once you're safe and any emergency needs are handled, get your injuries assessed by a doctor experienced with motor accidents — even if you feel okay, because some injuries surface later. Keep the police event number and any hospital paperwork; they help with your CTP claim.

What does a CTP doctor actually do?

A CTP doctor assesses the injuries you sustained in a motor vehicle accident, documents the clinical findings, and issues the Certificate of Fitness that underpins your CTP claim. They understand the NSW scheme requirements and the forms, so your treatment and any work-capacity decisions are recorded correctly — and they coordinate referrals to physiotherapy, psychology, and exercise physiology where needed.

Do I have to attend in person?

Many consultations can be done by telehealth where it's clinically appropriate, which is useful if you're in pain, have limited mobility, or live some distance away. An initial assessment may need to be in person so the doctor can examine you. Book or call and we'll work out the right format for your situation.

Can I just see my regular GP instead?

You can, if your GP is comfortable with CTP paperwork. Many aren't — the Certificate of Fitness, scheme correspondence, and treatment documentation are unfamiliar to a general practice, and errors can delay treatment approvals. A CTP-experienced doctor handles this routinely.

Why a car accident doctor, not just any GP

Car accident injuries don't always present like everyday GP problems. Whiplash can take days to develop, back injuries can be masked by adrenaline, and concussion symptoms can be subtle. A doctor who sees these injuries regularly knows when to investigate further and how to document findings so your claim isn't held up by queries.

We coordinate your whole recovery pathway from the first appointment, and work within the CTP scheme so the paperwork is right the first time. Choose your suburb below to start.
