For the purposes of
sections 53 and 538 of the Act, the maximum weekly rate of income
compensation for a financial year must be calculated by multiplying by 2 the
average of the amounts that the Australian Bureau of Statistics published as
the all employees average weekly total earnings in Western Australia for pay
periods ending in the months of May and November preceding the financial year.
Note for this regulation:
Under
section 538(5) of the Act, if a variation of an adjustable amount would
reduce the amount for a particular period, the amount must not be varied.
