WORKERS REHABILITATION AND COMPENSATION ACT 1986 - SECT 43B

43B—No disadvantage—compensation table

        (1)         If—

            (a)         a worker suffers a compensable injury that gives rise to an entitlement to compensation under sections 43

and 43A

; and

            (b)         the compensable injury is a loss mentioned in the table in Schedule 3A

; and

            (c)         the amount of compensation payable under sections 43

and 43A

in respect of that injury is less than the amount applying under the table in Schedule 3A

in respect of that injury,

then the worker is entitled to compensation equal to the amount applying under the table (and, if relevant, subsection (2)

) instead of the compensation payable under sections 43

and 43A

.

        (2)         If a worker suffers 2 or more injuries mentioned in the table in Schedule 3A

arising from the same trauma, the worker is not entitled in any case to receive compensation under this section in excess of $254 100 (indexed) (despite the operation of subsection (1)

and the table).

        (3)         Compensation is not payable under this section after the death of the worker concerned.
