        (3)         Unless a greater amount is prescribed by the regulations, in subsection (2) the prescribed amount is $500 000.

        (4)         Nothing in this section prevents a HBWC complaint from being dealt with through a compulsory conference or mediation process under the State Administrative Tribunal Act 2004 .
