WORKERS REHABILITATION AND COMPENSATION (GENERAL) REGULATIONS 1999 - REG 12

12—Prescribed limits on costs—Provision of professional advice

        (1)         For the purposes of section 42(4) of the Act, the following limits are prescribed in relation to the indemnity provided by the Corporation for the costs of obtaining professional advice in the event of redemption negotiations where the advice is obtained up to and including 31 December 2000:


Item

Limit

Obtaining professional advice about the consequences of redemption

$341

Obtaining financial advice about the investment or use of money received on redemption

$220.

        (2)         The limits in relation to the indemnity provided by the Corporation for the costs of obtaining professional advice in the event of redemption negotiations where the advice is obtained in the 2001 calendar year or a subsequent calendar year are to be determined by adjusting the amounts prescribed by subregulation (1) in accordance with subregulation (3).

        (3)         Subject to subregulation (4), an amount prescribed by subregulation (1) will be adjusted on an annual basis so that the adjusted amount will on 1 January 2001 and on 1 January of each subsequent year be an amount (calculated to the nearest multiple of $10) that bears to the amount prescribed by subregulation (1) the same proportion, subject to subregulation (5), as the Consumer Price Index for the September quarter of the immediately preceding year bears to the Consumer Price Index for the September quarter, 1998.

        (4)         In the application of subregulation (3) the maximum amount for obtaining professional advice about the consequences of redemption prescribed by subregulation (1) will be taken to be $330 and not $341.

        (5)         For the purpose of making the adjustment referred to in subregulation (3), the amount of the Consumer Price Index for the September quarter, 2000, and for the September quarter of each subsequent year will be reduced by the amount of the component of the weighted average of the Consumer Price Index for the eight Australian capital cities for the September quarter, 2000, that, in the opinion of the Australian Bureau of Statistics, is attributable to the impact of the GST.

        (6)         If the Australian Bureau of Statistics has not determined and published the amount of the component referred to in subregulation (5) that is attributable to the GST by 1 January 2001, the adjustment under subregulation (3) for that year will be delayed until the amount has been published by the Bureau.
