Liability for rehabilitation fees and costs
222 Liability for rehabilitation fees and costs
This section applies if an insurer considers rehabilitation is necessary for a worker for whose injury the insurer has accepted liability.
In addition to compensation otherwise payable, the insurer must pay the fees or costs of rehabilitation that the insurer accepts to be reasonable, having regard to the worker’s injury.
Under the table of costs, WorkCover may impose conditions on the provision of the rehabilitation.
The insurer’s liability under this division stops when the worker’s entitlement to compensation or the payment of another amount relating to an accredited rehabilitation and return to work program of the insurer stops.
Before imposing a condition under subsection (3) WorkCover must consult with self-insurers.
