WORKERS' COMPENSATION AND INJURY MANAGEMENT ACT 1981 - SECT 192

192 .         Illegal contracts of employment may be treated as valid

                If in any proceeding for the recovery under this Act of compensation for an injury it appears to an arbitrator that the contract under which the injured worker was engaged at the time when the injury occurred was illegal, the arbitrator may, if, having regard to all the circumstances of the case the arbitrator thinks proper to do so, deal with the matter as if the injured person had at that time been a worker under a valid contract.
