Workers Compensation Act 1987

The repeal of Part 4 of this Act by the 1998 amending Act does not affect—

any notice of injury, or of incapacity, treatment or damage, under that Part, or

any claim for compensation under that Part, or

the referral of any dispute to conciliation, any certificate of conciliation or any agreement arising from conciliation under that Part, or

any directions under that Part with respect to weekly payments, or

any proceedings before the Compensation Court, or any award, order or other decision of the Court, under that Part, or

any medical examination, any reference of a medical dispute to a medical referee or panel or any certificate of a medical referee or panel under that Part, or

any claim under the Uninsured Liability and Indemnity Scheme, or

any order, notice, direction, requirement or other thing given, made or done under that Part.

Any such thing is, for the purposes of the provisions of the 1998 Act corresponding to Part 4 of this Act, taken to have been given, made or done under those provisions of the 1998 Act.

The provisions of Part 4 of this Act relating to existing claims referred to in section 87D (as in force immediately before their repeal by the 1998 amending Act) continue to apply to any such claim that has not been finalised before that repeal. For that purpose, any officer of the WorkCover Authority who is a conciliation officer for the purposes of that claim may continue to exercise the functions of a conciliation officer for the purposes of finalising that claim.

Section 131A (as in force immediately before its repeal) continues to have effect with respect to references made to a medical practitioner before that repeal and certificates issued with respect to those referrals.

This clause has effect subject to the regulations under Part 20 of this Schedule and the regulations under the 1998 Act.
