Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003

This section applies if a worker sustained an injury before 31 January 2015.

The pre-amended Act continues to apply in relation to the injury as if the amendment Act had not been enacted.

Without limiting subsection (2)—

the amount of compensation payable in relation to the injury must be worked out under the pre-amended Act; and

chapter 5 of the pre-amended Act applies in relation to damages, or a proceeding for damages, for the injury.

Also, if an insurer made a decision on an application in relation to the injury under former section 132A during the transitional period, a worker aggrieved by the decision may apply to have the decision reviewed under chapter 13.
