Default Repair or Write Off

My grandma had an accident in her AU I Forte this morning (she is ok thank the good lord) neways the cars a bit of a mess, shes had it since new and its done 90,000 kms (she was taking it for the 90k service today). Neways she lives in a rural area and was stopped at a stop go road works thing and a guy ran up her ***. The rear end of the car is wrecked and its pushed up so bad that the rear drivers door has pushed up over the drivers door so it cannot be opened, plus the right hand rear guard is pushed down onto the rear right tyre.

The roof is also warped could of the damage thats occured on the right hand side.

My question is how seriously damaged does a car have to be before an insurer will write it off rather then fix it? I would say the chassis is bent as well!

The new car to replace it has already been arranged and we are happy to buy it regardless of the outcome of the old car (BA II SR) as she lives 40 kms away from town and needs a car asap.
