If an adjournment is granted under section 193(1) and the diversion program requires a person to engage in community service activities—
for the purposes of the Accident Compensation Act 1985 and the Workplace Injury Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2013 or any other Act or law, the child or young person is taken to be a worker employed by the Crown; and
for the purposes of the Accident Compensation Act 1985 and the Workplace Injury Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2013, the weekly earnings of the child or young person are to be taken to be—
an amount equivalent to the weekly earnings of the child or young person in any full-time employment in which the child or young person is engaged at that time; or
if the child or young person is not engaged in full-time employment at that time, an amount which the Minister administering the Accident Compensation Act 1985 and the Workplace Injury Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2013 considers reasonable in the circumstances of the case; and
the child or young person is not entitled to receive any remuneration in respect of any work performed in those community service activities.
