TAC Support with Care
TAC treatment supports recovery after a motor vehicle accident through services funded by the Transport Accident Commission. The goal is to reduce pain, restore movement, and help you safely return to daily activities, work, and independence.
Total Health Choice provides TAC physiotherapy in Melbourne and TAC occupational therapy through home visits. Our clinicians come to you so you do not need to travel while injured. This reduces fatigue, prevents symptom flare-ups, and allows treatment to occur in your real environment.
We support people with approved TAC claims and regularly deliver transport accident physiotherapy, functional rehabilitation, and coordinated TAC allied health services across our Melbourne service areas.

What TAC Allied Health Helps With
After a transport accident, recovery involves more than healing injuries. People often struggle with daily tasks, confidence, and returning to normal routines.
Our TAC services support:
Physical recovery (Physiotherapy)
- Pain and soft tissue injury recovery
- Reduced mobility and stiffness
- Muscle weakness and deconditioning
- Balance or dizziness problems
- Walking and movement difficulties
Functional recovery (Occupational Therapy)
- Showering and personal care tasks
- Safe mobility inside the home
- Fatigue management and pacing
- Return to work readiness
- Cognitive and daily activity difficulties
Together, physiotherapy and TAC occupational therapy focus on restoring real-life function, not just symptoms.
How TAC Treatment Works
We keep the process simple and clear.
Step 1. Claim approval
Once your TAC claim is approved, you can begin treatment. If approval is pending, we can still see you privately until funding is confirmed.
Step 2. Initial assessment and goals
A physiotherapist or occupational therapist completes a home assessment to understand your injuries, daily challenges, and recovery goals.
Step 3. Treatment and communication
You begin therapy and we provide updates as required. We can liaise with your TAC case manager, GP, or employer. You can also learn more about our process.

In-Home TAC Rehabilitation
Our home-visit model is central to recovery.
In-home physiotherapy TAC and mobile occupational therapy TAC visits remove barriers such as:
- Pain when travelling
- Fatigue after injury
- Difficulty driving
- Reduced mobility
Treating you at home allows therapists to assess stairs, bathrooms, kitchens, and daily routines. This leads to more practical treatment and safer outcomes than clinic-only care.
You receive the same clinical standard delivered through our mobile physiotherapy in Melbourne service.

What to Expect at Your First Appointment
Your first appointment focuses on understanding your situation and planning recovery.
Your clinician will:
- Discuss the accident and symptoms
- Assess movement, strength, and balance
- Review daily activities at home
- Identify functional challenges
- Set clear recovery goals
- Begin early treatment and education
You leave with a clear plan and practical strategies to manage symptoms safely.

Physiotherapy and Occupational Therapy Together
Physiotherapy treats the body.
Occupational therapy improves daily life.
Physiotherapy helps you move better.
TAC occupational therapy helps you live better.
Occupational therapists may assess:
- Showering and bathroom safety
- Household activities

This coordinated care improves recovery speed and reduces long-term disability risk.
