Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003

This section applies to a worker who sustained an injury on or after 15 October 2013 and before 31 January 2015, if—

the worker’s injury—

results in a DPI of 5% or less; and

is not a terminal condition; and

the worker has not accepted or rejected an offer of lump sum compensation from an insurer under section 189.

The worker is entitled to additional lump sum compensation for the injury—

up to an amount prescribed by regulation; and

subject to the conditions prescribed by regulation.

A regulation may provide for the establishment of a panel of appropriately qualified persons to review a decision of an insurer about whether a worker is entitled to additional lump sum compensation under this section.
