South Australian Consolidated Acts South Australian Consolidated Acts41—Absence of worker from Australia
(1) Where a worker who

to be absent from Australia for a period in excess of 28 days, the worker
shall, at least 28 days before leaving Australia, give the Corporation
prescribed details of the proposed absence.
(2) Where the
Corporation is of the opinion that the absence may impair the prospects of the

notice, in a designated form, of its intention to do so, suspend or reduce the
weekly payments to the worker.
(3) The Corporation
may suspend weekly payments that are being made to a worker who is absent from
Australia—

the Corporation cannot obtain, to its satisfaction, information relating
to—
(i)
the whereabouts of the worker;
(ii)
the continuance of the worker's disability or incapacity
for work;
(iii)
the earning capacity of the worker; or
(b) if
there is, in the opinion of the Corporation, some other proper reason
justifying suspension of the weekly payments.
(4) If a disabled
worker leaves Australia without giving the notice required under
subsection (1), the Corporation may suspend weekly payments to the
worker.
