under the
Workers Compensation Act 1987 and Workplace Injury
Management and Workers Compensation Act 1998
Her Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Workers Compensation Act 1987 and the Workplace Injury Management and Workers Compensation Act 1998.
JOHN DELLA BOSCA, M.L.C.,
Special Minister of State
Explanatory note
Section 79A of the Workplace Injury Management and Workers Compensation Act 1998 requires parties to a dispute that is referred to conciliation to exchange information relevant to the dispute, and to give that information to the Principal Conciliator.
The Workers Compensation Legislation Amendment Act 2001 contains new procedures for workers compensation claims that do not provide for conciliation of disputes. The provisions setting out those new procedures have not yet been proclaimed to commence.
The object of this Regulation is to disapply section 79A for disputes that have not yet been referred to conciliation, in order to streamline conciliation procedures in preparation for the cessation of conciliation when new procedures for claims commence.
This Regulation is made under the Workers Compensation Act 1987 and the Workplace Injury Management and Workers Compensation Act 1998, including
