ICWA Motor Vehicle Claims

Injured in a car accident? Your treatment is covered.

ICWA — the Insurance Commission of Western Australia — manages the Compulsory Third Party (CTP) personal injury insurance scheme for all registered WA vehicles. If you have been injured in a motor vehicle accident on a WA road, you may be entitled to physiotherapy at no cost to you.

WA operates a no-fault scheme — meaning you can claim regardless of who caused the accident. Move Physiotherapy is a registered ICWA provider, and our team handles all insurer communication, clinical reporting, and case manager liaison on your behalf.

Motor vehicle accident injuries — particularly whiplash and soft tissue injuries — can worsen significantly without early treatment. We recommend booking as soon as possible after your accident, even if symptoms feel minor initially.

Common Questions

ICWA physiotherapy FAQs

What is ICWA and how does it cover physiotherapy?
ICWA (Insurance Commission of Western Australia) manages the Compulsory Third Party (CTP) insurance scheme for all registered WA vehicles. If you are injured in a motor vehicle accident in WA, ICWA can cover the cost of physiotherapy treatment as part of your personal injury claim.
Do I have to pay anything upfront for ICWA physiotherapy?
Once your claim is accepted, treatment is funded by ICWA at no out-of-pocket cost. We bill ICWA directly. If your claim is still being assessed, we can discuss interim private billing arrangements.
Can I claim even if the accident was my fault?
Yes — WA's CTP scheme is a no-fault system for personal injury. You can claim regardless of who caused the accident, as long as the accident occurred on a public road and involved a registered vehicle.
Do I need a GP referral for ICWA physiotherapy?
A GP referral is not required to access physiotherapy under ICWA. You need your claim number and accident details. However, we recommend seeing your GP early to ensure all injuries are documented.
How long after my accident can I still make a claim?
In most cases you have three years from the date of the accident to lodge a claim with ICWA. However, earlier is always better — injuries are easier to treat and document closer to the accident. Contact us to discuss your situation.
What injuries are covered by ICWA?
ICWA covers any personal injury — physical or psychological — resulting from a motor vehicle accident on a WA road. This includes whiplash, back injuries, soft tissue damage, fractures, concussion, and chronic pain conditions.
