Getting help from Roslyn
Roslyn is a Southern Tablelands rural locality near Mount Rae, Woodhouselee and Wayo, set among grazing country north of Crookwell. Wherever in Roslyn the crash happened, the same NSW CTP rules apply: most injured people can claim statutory benefits regardless of fault, and claiming within 28 days generally lets weekly payments be back-paid to the day after the accident.
The Sydney CBD is roughly 162 km from Roslyn, but there's no reason to make that trip for help with a claim. Everything starts by phone and online.
Getting around after a crash can be harder than usual. If you'll be relying on Southern Highlands Line trains to Goulburn to reach work or treatment for a while, keep a note of the extra time and cost from the start.
Goulburn & Southern Tablelands: the wider area
Winters are cold, with frost, fog and occasional snow, and kangaroos and wombats are common on rural roads at night. Goulburn Base Hospital is the main local hospital. Seriously injured people may be taken to Canberra Hospital in the ACT, and some residents also travel to Canberra for work and specialist care.

Find the page that answers your question

- Personal injury solicitorSolicitor, lawyer or barrister? Who does what, and how to check a solicitor's standing.

- Personal injury lawyerThe everyday records that support an injury claim, and the questions a lawyer asks first.
- Injury compensation lawyerWhen an injury is more than threshold, and how whole person impairment is assessed.
- No win no fee lawyerCTP legal costs are regulated. Here's how that fits with no win, no fee arrangements.
After the crash: seven practical steps
- Your safety comes first. Get clear of moving traffic if you can do so safely, and call 000 for police and an ambulance if anyone is hurt.
- If police attend, note the officer's name and station. If they don't, report the crash yourself promptly and keep the event number safe.
- Ask your doctor for a Certificate of Fitness. It records your injuries and what work you can manage, and the insurer relies on it.
- If the other vehicle drove off, note anything you can about it and tell police promptly. A claim against the Nominal Defendant may still be possible.
- Work out which CTP insurer to claim with. It's usually the insurer of the vehicle at fault, and CTP Assist on 1300 656 919 can help you identify it.
- Keep a folder for everything: certificates, receipts, letters from the insurer, time off work and travel to treatment. Good records make every later step easier.
- Not sure whether you need a lawyer? A free claim check helps you decide. Many claims don't need one, and we'll say so if yours doesn't.
Key CTP deadlines
The clock starts on the day of the crash. Lodge within 28 days if you can, so weekly payments can be back-paid. A claim made up to 3 months later is still possible, though payments may only begin on the date you claim. Damages claims generally have a 3-year limit; lodge by the 2-year mark if you want weekly payments to be able to run past it. As always, it's general information, not legal advice, so check your own dates. More on CTP claim time limits.
Treatment and the medical side of your claim
Your recovery comes first, and it also drives the claim. A doctor who understands CTP can record your injuries properly on the Certificate of Fitness. Physiotherapy, psychology or exercise physiology may follow. Treatment that is reasonable and necessary is generally funded by the insurer within the benefit periods, though it decides each request.

Frequently asked questions
Most insurer decisions can be reviewed. You can generally ask for an internal review within 28 days of receiving the decision, and the insurer usually has 14 days to respond, or longer for some matters. If you still disagree, you can apply to the Personal Injury Commission. A refused claim is one of the situations where an independent CTP lawyer is often worth talking to.
You tell us what happened, when, and where your claim is up to: whether you've lodged, what the insurer has said and how your treatment is going. We check the time limits that apply and whether anything is in dispute. Then we explain your options and point you to the help that fits, whether that's doctors and allied health, an independent CTP lawyer or simply the next form.
We're sorry for your loss. CTP insurance generally covers reasonable funeral expenses regardless of fault, including transporting the person to near their usual home. The deceased person's legal personal representative, usually a close family member, can apply. Dependants may also be able to claim. CTP Assist on 1300 656 919 can connect you with a Principal Liaison Coordinator for support.
Three main kinds. Doctors experienced with CTP claims, for diagnosis and the Certificate of Fitness. Allied health, such as physiotherapy, psychology and exercise physiology, for treatment and recovery. And an independent lawyer experienced in CTP claims when the case calls for one, for example a refused claim, a threshold dispute or a damages claim. Many people only need the first two.
Usually not. Most injured people can claim statutory benefits whoever was at fault. The main exception is being wholly or mostly at fault, which means contributory negligence above 61%. Then weekly payments and treatment are generally limited to the first 52 weeks, and damages aren't available. Children who were 16 or under at the time can receive treatment and care for as long as they need it, regardless of fault.
No. The claim check is free and there's no obligation to take any next step. CTP Lawyer is a free NSW service, not a law firm. We look at where your claim is up to and explain the options in plain English. If you're connected with an independent CTP lawyer, any legal costs are between you and them, and should be set out in writing first.
Often not. Many CTP claims for statutory benefits run without a lawyer. Legal help tends to matter when a claim is refused, the insurer says your injury is threshold and you disagree, payments stop, fault is disputed, an offer arrives or a damages claim may be open. SIRA's free CTP Legal Advisory Service can also help with some statutory benefits questions.
No. You can start with our claim check by phone or online from anywhere in the district, lodge the claim through the Service NSW online form or with the insurer, and see a GP in Goulburn or Crookwell for the Certificate of Fitness. If a lawyer would help, many motor accident lawyers work with regional clients by phone and video, so the drive to the city is rarely needed.
