South Australian Consolidated Regulations South Australian Consolidated Regulations (1) For the purposes
of section 32(2)(e) of the Act, the maximum amount of compensation payable for
the cost of the accommodation (including meals) of a worker away from home for
the purpose of receiving medical services or approved rehabilitation is—
(a)
where the accommodation is provided up to and including 31 December
2000—$143 per day;
(b)
where the accommodation is provided in the 2001 calendar year or a subsequent
calendar year—an amount (calculated to the nearest multiple of $10) that
bears to $138 the same proportion, subject to subregulation (1)(a), 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.
(1a) For the purposes
of determining the amount referred to in subregulation (1)(b), 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.
(1b) If the Australian
Bureau of Statistics has not determined and published the amount of the
component referred to in subregulation (1a) that is attributable to the
GST by 1 January 2001, the determination under subregulation (1)(b)
for that year will be delayed until the amount has been published by the
Bureau.
(2) If an amount under
subregulation (1) relates to accommodation outside South Australia, the
maximum amount is increased by an additional $55 per day.
