Payments received under the Workplace Relations Act (unfair dismissal), Anti-Discrimination Act (sexual harassment settlement), and Crimes (Victims Assistance) Act do not reduce Work Health Act compensation under ss 54 or 176, as they are not predicated on 'injury' as defined in the Work Health Act or do not constitute 'damages recovered' in proceedings against a third party. Under common law collateral benefits principles, only payments shown to relate to the same loss (incapacity from injury) are deductible.
