Workers Compensation Act 1987

The amendments to Division 4 of Part 3 of this Act made by Schedule 2 (3)–(5) to the Workers Compensation Legislation (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act 1994 and Schedule 7 (1) and (2) to the Workers Compensation Legislation Amendment Act 1995 are made for the purpose of avoiding doubt, and accordingly that Division is taken to have been so amended from the commencement of this Act.

However, an amendment made by Schedule 2 (5) (d) to the Workers Compensation Legislation (Miscellaneous Amendments) Act 1994 or Schedule 7 (1) to the Workers Compensation Legislation Amendment Act 1995 does not affect—

any award of compensation made before the date of commencement of the amendment, or

any compensation that a worker has received or agreed to receive before that date, or

any award of, or compromise or settlement of a claim for, damages made before that date, or

any court proceedings commenced by a worker for damages from the worker’s employer (or other person referred to in section 150 of this Act) before that date.
