VICTIMS OF CRIME ASSISTANCE ACT 2009 - SECT 36B

36B Making of victim assistance application not affected by motor accident claim

The person may apply for victim assistance in relation to the act of violence whether or not—

(a) a motor accident claim has been made in relation to the motor vehicle accident; or

(b) if a motor accident claim has been made in relation to the motor vehicle accident—the claim has been finally dealt with.

Note—

However, under section 86 the amount of victim assistance that would otherwise be payable to an applicant is reduced by the amount of a relevant payment the applicant has received or will receive. An amount payable under the Motor Accident Insurance Act 1994 is a relevant payment—see schedule 3 , definition relevant payment .
