Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003

At the end of 12 months after the exit date, the self-insurer must pay WorkCover an amount for the non-scheme member’s total liability.

For subsection (1), WorkCover is liable for compensation and damages for the non-scheme member’s total liability for all injuries sustained by a worker employed by the non-scheme member that arise from an event happening or ending during the period the non-scheme member was a member of the self-insurer but before the exit date.

The total liability must be—

calculated in the way prescribed under a regulation by an actuary approved by the Regulator; and

paid within the time allowed under a regulation.
