Injured People & Private Clients
You do not need a referral to talk to us
For you
If you have been in an accident, or driving has become something you avoid, you can call us directly. You do not need a referral, and you do not need to know which service is right for you.
Where people usually start
You do not need to have it worked out
Most people who call Safe2Go are not sure what they need. They know something has changed. They used to drive without thinking about it, and now they either do not drive at all or find every trip difficult.
That is enough to start with. Our first conversation is about what happened and what you are finding hard. We then work out the right starting point together.
People we commonly work with
- Drivers, passengers, cyclists and pedestrians involved in a motor vehicle accident
- People who have stopped driving entirely since a crash, sometimes years ago
- People who still drive, but with constant anxiety, avoidance of motorways or panic in traffic
- People recovering from an injury, for whom returning to driving is part of the recovery
- People whose driving has been affected by a medical condition or a change in function
- Family members supporting someone in any of the above
What it costs
Paying for treatment
If your accident was a motor vehicle accident in NSW, your treatment may be covered by a CTP (Compulsory Third Party) claim, even if you were not at fault and even if you have not lodged a claim yet. Many people do not realise this. We can explain how it works and liaise with the insurer on your behalf.
If you were injured at work, treatment may be funded through WorkCover. Again, we can deal with the insurer or your case manager directly.
If neither applies, you can engage us privately. There is no referral required and no waiting list to join.
We will tell you which of these is likely to apply before you commit to anything.

We talk it through
A conversation about what happened, what has changed and what you would like to do again. There is no assessment and no pressure.
- 3
We suggest a starting point
That might be psychological support, an OT driver assessment, or graded on-road rehabilitation. It depends on where you are now.
- 4
You decide
You choose whether and when to begin. If we are not the right service for you, we will say so and suggest somewhere else.
An important distinction
We are not a driving school
If you are learning to drive for the first time and want to pass your test, a driving school is the right choice and will cost you less.
We work with people whose barrier is anxiety, trauma, injury, pain or a medical condition, rather than a lack of skill. Our team includes a registered psychologist, occupational therapists and rehabilitation driver trainers, and we use all three where they are needed.
