Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003

The industrial commission can not include in an industrial instrument made by it, or approve for an industrial instrument submitted to it, a provision for accident pay, or other payment, on account of a worker sustaining an injury.

The registrar of the industrial commission is not to register an industrial instrument submitted to the registrar that provides for payment of accident pay, or other payment, on account of a worker sustaining an injury.

Despite subsections (1) and (2), an industrial instrument, other than an award under an Industrial Act, may provide for an amount to be payable as a weekly rate of wages (however described) to a worker if the worker becomes incapacitated.

A provision of an industrial instrument, other than a provision mentioned in subsection (3) that contains an amount that has been approved by the Regulator under section 107E, is of no force or effect to the extent that it provides for payment of accident pay, or other payment, on account of a worker sustaining an injury.
