Workers Compensation Act 1987

The earnings amendments (other than Schedule 3.1[10] to the amending Act) do not apply to an injury received by a worker before the commencement of the amendments.

In the application of section 44C of the 1987 Act (as in force before the commencement of the earnings amendments) to an injury received by a worker before the commencement of the amendments but not before the date of assent to the 2018 amending Act, overtime and shift allowance payments are permitted to be included under that section for the purposes of the calculation of weekly payments payable at any time in respect of the injury (whether during or after the first 52 weeks for which the weekly payments are payable).
