required by an order made under this Act, or by terms specified by a juvenile
justice team, to perform any work is lawfully engaged in remunerative
employment, for the purposes of the Workers’ Compensation and Injury
Management Act 1981 the person is, in respect of the work performed, to be
regarded as a worker employed by the Crown and where, for the purposes of
calculating the compensation payable under that Act, reference must be made to
weekly earnings, the weekly earnings are to be regarded as being equal to the
weekly earnings of the person in the person’s lawful employment at the
relevant time.
