The Insurance Commission of Western Australia will host two interactive community forums on June 6, 2018 and June 27, 2018 for service providers to its motor vehicle Catastrophic Injuries Support (CIS) scheme.
More than 300 providers have been invited to attend two sessions to provide feedback on the CIS scheme, to ensure it continues to operate effectively and efficiently.
CIS scheme service providers are mostly small Western Australian businesses in the health, disability and community sector, and provide treatment, care and support services to people catastrophically injured in crashes on Western Australian roads.
There have been more than 100 people catastrophically injured in crashes since the CIS scheme was introduced in Western Australia on July 1, 2016. The Insurance Commission manages the lifetime treatment, care and support for most of those people either via the CIS scheme or the Compulsory Third Party insurance scheme.
At each forum, the Insurance Commission will present the performance results of the scheme as it approaches the end of its second year, and seek feedback on how service delivery efficiency and effectiveness could be improved.
