Workers Compensation Act 1987

Subdivision 3A of Division 2 of Part 3 of the 1987 Act continues to apply to an existing work capacity decision (as if the work capacity decision amendments had not been enacted)—

during the transitional review period, and

if, immediately before the expiry of the transitional review period, the decision is subject to a review under that Subdivision—until the review is finally determined.

A dispute about an existing work capacity decision that is determined before the expiry of the period during which Subdivision 3A of Division 2 of Part 3 of the 1987 Act applies to the decision is not subject to referral for determination by the Commission after the expiry of that period.

The work capacity decision amendments do not apply in relation to an existing work capacity decision during the period in which Subdivision 3A of Division 2 of Part 3 of the 1987 Act applies to the decision.

The transitional review period is—

the period of 6 months commencing on the day on which Schedule 1.1 [3] to the 2018 amending Act commences, or

any other period prescribed by the regulations.
