WORKERS COMPENSATION ACT 1951 - SECT 9

Who is not a worker?

    (1)     In this Act (despite anything else in this chapter), worker does not include—

        (a)     a public servant; or

        (b)     an employee within the meaning of the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988

(Cwlth).

    (2)     In this Act (despite anything else in this chapter), worker does not include an individual who would, apart from this section, be a worker employed by an employer, if the individual is a member of the employer's family and lives in the employer's home.

    (3)     However, subsection (2) does not apply to an individual if the employer tells the licensed insurer who insures the employer against liability under this Act the name, nature of employment and estimated wages of the individual—

        (a)     when the employment begins; and

        (b)     whenever the insurance is renewed.
