Notice to insurers
“115d. (1) Where it appears to the Director-General that an insurer, under a contract of insurance, is, or may become, liable to indemnify a person (in this section referred to as the “client”), in whole or in part, against the liability, or the possible liability, of the client to make a payment or payments by way of compensation in respect of the incapacity of another person who is, or was, qualified to receive a sickness benefit in respect of that incapacity, the Director-General may, by notice in writing served on the insurer, inform the insurer that the Director-General, on behalf of the Commonwealth, proposes to, or may wish to, recover from him an amount equal to the whole or some part of the amount of sickness benefit paid to that other person in respect of that incapacity.
“(2) Where an insurer is liable, under a contract of insurance, to indemnify a client, in whole or in part, against the liability of the client to make a payment or payments by way of compensation in respect of the incapacity of another person who is, or was, qualified to receive a sickness benefit in respect of that incapacity, the Director-General may serve a notice in writing on the insurer (whether or not a notice has been served on the insurer under sub-section (1)) specifying the amount that the Director-General, on behalf of the Commonwealth, proposes to recover from the insurer, being an amount not exceeding the amount of the sickness benefit paid to that other person in respect of that incapacity.
“(3) The Director-General shall not serve a notice on an insurer under sub-section (2) in relation to the liability of the insurer to indemnify a client against the liability of the client to make a payment or payments by way of compensation in respect of the incapacity of

another person if the Director-General has served a notice on the client under sub-section 115c (2) in relation to that incapacity.
“(4) Where an insurer who is served with a notice under sub-section (1) is, or becomes, liable to indemnify a client in respect of the liability of the client to make a payment or payments by way of compensation in respect of the incapacity to which the notice relates, the insurer shall, within 7 days after becoming so liable or after being served with a notice under sub-section (1), whichever last occurs, notify a Registrar, in writing, accordingly.
Penalty: $100.
“(5) Subject to sub-section (8), an insurer who is served with a notice under sub-section (1) shall not, after the service of that notice, make any payment that is a payment under a contract of insurance with a client, being a payment indemnifying the client, in whole or in part, against the liability of the client to make a payment or payments by way of compensation in respect of the incapacity to which the notice under sub-section (1) relates and, if a payment is made by the insurer in contravention of this sub-section, the payment shall, for the purposes of paragraph (6) (b), be disregarded in ascertaining the amount that the insurer is liable to pay to the client.
“(6) Where an insurer is served with a notice under sub-section (2), the insurer is liable to pay to the Commonwealth—
(a) the amount specified in the notice; or
(b) the amount that the insurer is liable to pay to the client concerned to indemnify the client against the liability to make a payment by way of compensation in respect of the incapacity to which the notice relates,
whichever is the lesser amount.
“(7) Payment of an amount that an insurer is liable to pay to the Commonwealth under sub-section (6) in respect of the incapacity of another person shall, to the extent of the payment—
(a) operate as a discharge to the insurer as against the client concerned; and
(b) operate as a discharge to the client concerned as against the liability of the client to make a payment or payments by way of compensation to that other person.
“(8) Where sub-section (5) applies in relation to an insurer in respect of the incapacity of a person, that sub-section shall cease to apply in relation to the insurer in respect of that incapacity if—
(a) in the case of an insurer who is liable under sub-section (6) to pay an amount to the Commonwealth in respect of that incapacity — the insurer pays that amount to the Commonwealth; or

(b) in any other case—the Director-General informs the insurer in writing that he is satisfied that sub-section (5) should no longer apply in relation to the insurer in respect of that incapacity.
“(9) Where an insurer has been served with a notice under sub-section (1) in relation to the liability or possible liability of the insurer to indemnify a client, in whole or in part, against the liability or possible liability of the client to make a payment or payments by way of compensation in respect of the incapacity of another person, the client is not, while that notice has effect, liable to make that payment or those payments by way of compensation in respect of that incapacity.
“(10) A notice that may be served on an insurer under this section shall be taken to be served on the insurer if it is served on the insurer by post or is given to an employee of the insurer.
Director-General may disregard certain payments
“115e. For the purposes of this Division, the Director-General may treat the whole or a part of a payment by way of compensation that has been, or that will be, made in respect of an incapacity as not having been made or as not being, or as not likely to become, liable to be made, if the Director-General considers that, in the special circumstances of the case, it is appropriate to do so. “;
(q) by omitting from paragraph (d) of the new section 115f that is proposed to be inserted in the Social Services Act 1947 “sub-section (5) of section 115d” and substituting “sub-section 115d (6)”; and
(r) by omitting paragraphs (d) and (e) of the new section 115g that is proposed to be inserted in the Social Services Act 1947 and substituting the following paragraphs:
“(d) that the Director-General has not, under paragraph 115c (10) (b), informed a specified person that sub-section 115c (4) no longer applies in relation to that person in respect of a specified incapacity;
“(da) that no notice under sub-section 115d (4) has been received by any Registrar from a specified insurer in respect of any liability to indemnify a client in respect of the liability of the client to make a payment or payments by way of compensation in respect of a specified incapacity of a specified person;

“(e) that the Director-General has not, under paragraph 115d (8) (b), informed a specified insurer that sub-section 115d (5) no longer applies in relation to that insurer in respect of a specified incapacity; or”.

Addition of new sub-sections to section 39 of Principal Act

49. Section 39 of the Principal Act is amended by adding at the end thereof the following sub-sections:

“(4) Where—

(a) a notice had been served on a person (in this sub-section referred to as ‘the person liable to pay compensation’) under sub-section 115 (5) of the Principal Act before the commencement of this section (not being a notice that specified the amount payment of which was claimed by the Director-General) in relation to sickness benefit paid or payable in respect of the incapacity of another person; and
(b) a notice under sub-section 115 (6) of the Principal Act had not, before the commencement of this section, been served on the person liable to pay compensation in relation to that sickness benefit,

the notice referred to in paragraph (a) shall be deemed to be a notice served on the person liable to pay compensation under sub-section 115c (1) of the Principal Act as amended by this Act.

“(5) Where—

(a) a notice has been served on an insurer under sub-section 115 (5) of the Principal Act before the commencement of this section (not being a notice that specified the amount payment of which was claimed by the Director-General) in relation to sickness benefit paid or payable in respect of the incapacity of another person; and
(b) a notice under sub-section 115 (6) of the Principal Act had not, before the commencement of this section, been served on the insurer in relation to that sickness benefit,

the notice referred to in paragraph (a) shall be deemed to be a notice served on the insurer under sub-section 115d (1) of the Principal Act as amended by this Act”.
