Public Sector Workers Compensation Fund Act 2018

The advisory committee has the following functions:

to keep informed of the operations of the PSWC fund to provide the advice mentioned in paragraph (c);

to assist in meeting the Territory’s liabilities under the SRC Act by providing advice about claims management in relation to injured employees of the Territory;

if the Minister or the PSWC commissioner asks for advice in relation to the PSWC fund—to provide the advice requested.

To remove any doubt, it is not a function of the advisory committee to provide advice about the investment of amounts in a PSWC fund banking account.

The advisory committee may exercise any other function given to it under this Act or any other territory law.

A provision of a law that gives an entity (including a person) a function also gives the entity powers necessary and convenient to exercise the function (see Legislation Act, s 196 and dict, pt 1, def entity).
