DoT Alert Us

Reporting suspicious, unethical or corrupt behaviour

The DoT Alert Us phone and email contact has been established to provide an avenue for customers and members of the community to report suspicious, unethical or corrupt behaviour relating to any DoT services and business activities. Visit the DoT Alert Us page.

  Reporting an incident

Timely reporting of incidents from the community may represent vital information to identify weaknesses in the bicycle network and enable future improvement.

The driver of a vehicle and/or rider of a bicycle must report a traffic crash to the Police when the incident has occurred on a road or any place commonly used by the public (e.g. car parks) and the:

  • Incident resulted in bodily harm to any person.
  • Total value of property damaged to all involved parties exceeds $3,000.
  • Owner or representative of any damaged property is not present.

Your Motor Injury Insurance Policy is printed on the back of your vehicle registration (“rego”) and is paid for when a vehicle is registered with the Department of Transport. Two insurance products make up the motor injury insurance policy: Compulsory Third Party (CTP) and Catastrophic Injuries Support (CIS).

The CTP policy covers the driver or owner of a vehicle for injuries they cause to others in a motor vehicle crash anywhere in Australia and the CIS policy covers a person for a catastrophic injury caused in a motor vehicle crash.

The Insurance Commission of Western Australia states that: “For cyclists, compensation is paid only if the driver of a Western Australian vehicle is fully or partly at fault in a motor vehicle accident with the cyclist.” (2014 Press Release Archive: ICWA).

The rider of a bicycle involved in a crash with a motor vehicle can report the incident through the Online Crash Reporting Facility (see link below).

Currently there is no online reporting facility available that enables incidents not involving a motor vehicle(s) to be reported. DoT is in the process of investigating the development of an Online Cycling Incident Reporting Facility that could capture these types of incidents. In the meantime, DoT encourages people to report such incidents directly to WA Police, especially if deemed mandatory due the nature of the incident.
