Injured as a Pedestrian by a Motor Vehicle
Telehealth support for pedestrians injured by a motor vehicle who are dealing with a CTP claim in NSW.
Overview
This covers people injured on foot when struck by a vehicle, including at crossings, in car parks and along roadsides. Pedestrians are vulnerable road users and often sustain more serious injuries because they have no protection in a collision. The CTP scheme generally covers people injured by a vehicle, including pedestrians. We focus on assessing your injuries and supporting your claim with clear medical documentation.
Pedestrians injured by a vehicle can generally access the CTP scheme, as the cover follows the vehicle involved. Access may be possible even where the pedestrian's own actions played a part, though this can affect a claim. Eligibility and the way a claim is handled depend on the circumstances and the scheme, so it is important to check SIRA and lodge promptly. We do not provide legal advice; questions about entitlements are best directed to SIRA or a solicitor.
Rules vary by circumstance and injury — confirm your situation with SIRA.

How we help
We assess your injuries by telehealth, provide the medical certification the scheme requires and document the impact on your work and daily life. Where appropriate, we coordinate physiotherapy, psychology and exercise physiology to support your recovery, and direct you to urgent or specialist care when needed. We help you navigate the relevant paperwork so the process is clearer. Our focus is the medical side; questions about liability and compensation are best directed to a solicitor.
