(1) The maximum amount for which an employer is liable for any ambulance service provided to a worker is--
(a) $10,000, or
(b) where some greater amount has been fixed by the Authority by order published in the Gazette--that greater amount.
(2) An amount additional to that fixed by subsection (1) may be allowed on account of the distance travelled in any particular case.

If no such proceedings are before the Commission, such an allowance may be awarded by the Authority on application made in respect of the worker from time to time.
