The Hawkesbury follows the Hawkesbury and Nepean rivers on Sydney's north-western edge. Windsor and Richmond are the main towns, with South Windsor, Bligh Park, McGraths Hill and Pitt Town nearby, Kurrajong and Bilpin in the hills to the west, and a long stretch of river country through Wilberforce, Ebenezer, Sackville, Wisemans Ferry, St Albans and the Macdonald valley.

CTP Lawyer Help in SydneyQuestions about claims in the Hawkesbury
No. You can start with our claim check by phone or online, lodge the claim through the Service NSW online form or directly with the insurer, and get treatment and a Certificate of Fitness from a local GP. If your claim needs a lawyer, many motor accident lawyers work with people outside the city by phone and video, so the long drive in is rarely needed.
No. Where you live makes no difference to a NSW CTP claim; what matters is that the crash happened in NSW and which vehicles were involved. If it was on a remote road, write down the nearest landmark, ferry or road junction while you still remember it, keep photos and any police event number, and get checked by a doctor even if you felt fine at the time.
