Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003

The amount of damages that an employer is legally liable to pay to a claimant for an injury must be reduced by the total amount paid or payable by an insurer by way of compensation for the injury.

However, subsection (1) applies to compensation paid or payable under chapter 4A only if the damages include treatment, care and support damages.

Also, the amount of damages must not be reduced by an amount paid under section 193.

This section does not limit the reduction of the amount of the damages by any other amount that the insurer or the claimant is legally liable to pay on account of the worker under another law.
