Workers’ Compensation and Rehabilitation Act 2003

This section applies if, during the transitional period—

an injury was sustained by a worker; and

an application was made under section 132A to have the worker’s injury assessed under section 179 to decide if the worker’s injury has resulted in a DPI.

Former section 132A applies to the application, despite its amendment by the amendment Act.

However, if the worker is aggrieved by the insurer’s decision on the application, the worker may apply to have the decision reviewed under chapter 13.

Nothing in this section affects another provision of this Act about deciding—

whether a person was a worker; or

whether a worker sustained an injury; or

the date an injury was sustained.
