Workers Compensation Transitional

Amendment Regulation 1997

under the

Workers Compensation Act 1987

His Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Workers Compensation Act 1987.

JEFFREY SHAW, Q.C., M.L.C., Minister for Industrial Relations

Explanatory note

The object of this Regulation is to amend the Workers Compensation

Transitional Regulation 1997 under the Workers Compensation Act 1987 to

change a transitional arrangement under which a provision of that Act that entitles coal miners to “top up” weekly payments of compensation for the first 78 weeks of incapacity for work is varied in its application to injuries suffered before 1 July 1997 to take account of cases in which the date of incapacity is later than the date of injury. The regulation changes this arrangement so that it applies to injuries received before 1 January 1998.
