Who This Is For

Is this funding right for you?

NSW’s Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance scheme covers physiotherapy for anyone injured in a motor vehicle accident — driver, passenger, cyclist or pedestrian. You don’t need to be at fault to make a claim. Thrive bills your CTP insurer directly and focuses on active, evidence-based treatment to get you back to full function.

Making a CTP claim in NSW

To access CTP physiotherapy, lodge a claim with your insurer (or the at-fault driver’s insurer) through the State Insurance Regulatory Authority (SIRA). You’ll receive a claim number — bring this to your first appointment. If you’re unsure how to lodge a claim, your GP or our reception team can guide you through the process.

How It Works

Three easy steps to get started

01

Lodge your CTP claim

Report the accident to police (if required) and lodge a claim with the CTP insurer through the SIRA portal or via your GP. You’ll receive a claim number.

02

Contact Thrive

Call or email us with your claim number and a brief description of your injuries. We’ll confirm billing with your insurer and book your first appointment.

03

Start your recovery

We assess all MVA-related injuries, design an active rehabilitation plan and provide required reports to your insurer throughout your recovery.

Good to Know

Frequently asked questions

Do I need to be at fault to claim CTP physio?

No. NSW CTP insurance covers injured persons regardless of fault. Whether you were the driver, a passenger, a pedestrian or a cyclist, you may be entitled to treatment under the CTP scheme.

Do I need a GP referral to start physio under CTP?

You don’t need a GP referral to see a physiotherapist, but you do need a CTP claim number from your insurer. Your GP can help you lodge the claim if you’re unsure how.

Will I have to pay anything out of pocket?

No. Physiotherapy that is reasonable and necessary for your MVA injuries is funded by your CTP insurer. We bill the insurer directly. If any service falls outside what the insurer will cover, we’ll discuss this with you before proceeding.

How long can I access CTP physio?

Under the NSW CTP scheme, treatment must be reasonable and necessary for your injuries. There’s no hard limit on sessions, but treatment should be goal-directed and progressing. We’ll monitor your progress and keep your insurer informed at the required intervals.
