WORKPLACE INJURY REHABILITATION AND COMPENSATION ACT 2013 - SECT 62

Effect of determination for industrial deafness

    (1)     A determination for the payment of compensation for industrial deafness which is not reviewed is a final determination in respect of the percentage of the diminution of the worker's hearing on the date on which the worker advises the Authority or self‑insurer that the worker accepts the determination.

    (2)     A determination for the payment of compensation must state the percentage of diminution of the worker's hearing in respect of industrial deafness at the date of the determination in relation to which the amount of the compensation is assessed.

    (3)     A determination for compensation for industrial deafness under this Act fully extinguishes all rights of the worker to compensation for industrial deafness under Division 5 of Part 5 or under section 98, 98C or 98E of the Accident Compensation Act 1985 or under the Workers Compensation Act 1958 up to the date of the determination but does not prevent the worker from obtaining compensation under Division 5 of Part 5 for further industrial deafness suffered after that date.

    (4)     The Authority must be advised of any determination for the payment of compensation for industrial deafness.

    (5)     The Authority must keep a register of determinations for the payment of compensation for industrial deafness advised under subsection (4).
