Joint Medical Evaluation (JME)

A Joint Medical Evaluation (JME) is a medico-legal assessment conducted by a specialist independent doctor to evaluate transport accident injuries. This evaluation is jointly requested by both the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) and the client's legal representatives. The TAC funds these assessments, is entitled to receive the evaluation report, and can ask the assessing doctor pertinent questions.

Transport Accident Claims Requiring JME

JMEs are exclusively used for transport accident claims. These assessments provide an accurate and unbiased evaluation of injury claims and impairments following an accident. The comprehensive nature of JMEs ensures that all aspects of the client's injuries and their impact on daily life are thoroughly assessed, supporting fair and just compensation.

JME Process

The JME process commenced as part of the legislative amendments to the Transport Accident Act 1986 in November 2013. This amendment aimed to streamline the legal process and reduce the number of medical examinations (IMEs) a client must attend, ultimately improving client experience by reducing delays and ensuring more efficient case management
