WORKERS COMPENSATION REGULATION 2003 - REG 252

252 Savings and transitional provisions--workplace injury management

(1) Part 2A (Return to work plans) of the Workers Compensation (Workplace Injury Management) Regulation 1995 , as in force immediately before the repeal of that Part by the 2002 Regulation, continues to have effect in respect of injuries that happened before the commencement of Chapter 3 of the 1998 Act.

(2) If an injury management plan has been prepared in compliance with section 45 of the 1998 Act in respect of an injury to a worker that happened before the commencement of Chapter 3 of the 1998 Act (and has been so prepared within the time within which a return-to-work plan under Part 2A of the Workers Compensation (Workplace Injury Management) Regulation 1995 would have otherwise been required to be prepared):

(a) subclause (3) does not apply in respect of the injury, and

(b) despite section 41 (2) of the 1998 Act, sections 45 (7), 46, 47, 55, 56 and 57 of the 1998 Act apply in respect of the injury.

(3) Despite section 41 (2) of the 1998 Act, a reference in section 52, 53 and 54 of the 1998 Act to an injured worker is to be read as including a reference to an injured worker when the injury happened before the commencement of Chapter 3 of the 1998 Act.
