Invalidity pensioner restored to health to be found employment.
75. (1) Where the Commissioner is satisfied, after receiving the report or
reports of a medical practitioner or medical practitioners with respect to the
health of a person to whom invalidity pension is payable, that the health of
the person has become so restored as to enable him to perform duties of a kind
that are, in the opinion of the Commissioner, suitable to be performed by him
(having regard to the duties performed by him immediately before his
retirement on the ground of invalidity and to such other matters as the
Commissioner considers relevant), the Commissioner shall so inform such person
or authority as the Commissioner considers appropriate with a view to that
person or authority finding suitable employment for the pensioner.

(2) If-

   (a)  the pensioner is offered by the Commonwealth or by an approved
        authority employment (not being employment on a part-time basis) that
        involves the performance of duties that, in the opinion of the
        Commissioner, are suitable to be performed by him (having regard to
        the duties performed by him immediately before his retirement on the
        ground of invalidity and to such other matters as the Commissioner
        considers relevant); and

   (b)  the person unreasonably refuses or fails to accept the offer within 14
        days after the receipt by him of the offer, or within such further
        period as the Commissioner allows, the Commissioner may cancel the
        person's entitlement to invalidity pension.
