Victorian Consolidated Legislation

Transport Accident Act 1986 - SECT 46

Review of eligibility at 18 months

46. Review of eligibility at 18 months



(1) If it appears to the Commission that a person injured as a result of a
transport accident will suffer a loss of earning capacity as a result of the
injury 18 months after the accident, the Commission must, at or about that
time, review the entitlement of the person to payments in respect of loss of
earning capacity.





(2) If a review under subsection (1) of the entitlement of a person injured as
a result of a transport accident for compensation has not been completed
within 18 months after the accident, the person continues to be entitled to
compensation under section 44 or 45, as the case may be, as if the reference
in those sections to 18 months were a reference to the date of completion of
the review.
