MILITARY REHABILITATION AND COMPENSATION ACT 2004 - SECT 217

Compensation for attendant care services

  (1)   The Commonwealth is liable to pay weekly compensation for attendant care services provided to a person if:

  (a)   the Commission has accepted liability for a service injury or disease of the person; and

  (b)   the person obtains attendant care services that he or she reasonably requires because of the injury or disease; and

  (c)   a claim for compensation in respect of the person has been made under section   319.

  (2)   However, the Commonwealth is only liable to pay compensation in respect of an aggravated injury or disease if it is because of the aggravation or material contribution (whether wholly or partly) that the person reasonably requires the attendant care services.
