The Inner West stretches from Balmain, Rozelle and Newtown out along Parramatta Road through Leichhardt, Ashfield, Burwood and Strathfield, with Drummoyne, Five Dock, Concord and Rhodes on the Parramatta River. Older terrace suburbs and shopping strips sit alongside new apartment towers, WestConnex tunnels run beneath much of it, and the main western rail lines pass through Burwood and Strathfield.

CTP Lawyer Help in SydneyQuestions about claims in the Inner West
Not for the claim itself. NSW has one CTP scheme, so the suburb or council area doesn't change your entitlements or the time limits. What matters is when the crash happened, which vehicles were involved and how you were hurt. On the claim form and in any police report, describe the location as precisely as you can, such as the nearest cross street, so everyone is talking about the same place.
Yes. Insurers handle CTP claims by phone, email and online, so you won't need to travel back to the town where it happened. See a doctor in Sydney, keep the Certificate of Fitness and your receipts, and lodge within 28 days if you can so weekly payments can be back-paid to the day after the accident. Our claim check works the same way, by phone and online, wherever in NSW the crash was.
