Western Australian Consolidated Regulations Western Australian Consolidated Regulations (1) For the purposes
of effecting, increasing or otherwise varying any policy of insurance or
assurance as provided in section 13 of the Act, the Board may from time
to time require a member —
(a) to
be medically examined;
(b) to
submit other evidence of health;
(c) to
provide proof of age to the satisfaction of the insurer; and
(d) to
take such other steps as may be required for any of those purposes.
(2) If a category A
member refuses to undergo the medical examination or to undertake any other
step that may reasonably be required by the Board for the purposes of
effecting, increasing or otherwise varying any policy of insurance or
assurance or if the member does or omits to do anything that would or may
prejudice the policy or result in any of the policy proceeds not becoming
payable, the Board may adjust the defined benefit component of benefits to be
payable from the Fund to or in respect of that member in such manner as the
Board considers appropriate.
(3) The Board shall
not effect a group life insurance or assurance policy that contains provision
for payment of benefits in respect of total and permanent disablement unless
in the opinion of the Board the definition of total and permanent disablement
contained in that policy is such that a member covered by that policy would be
considered by the insurer with which the policy is effected to be totally and
permanently disabled if in the opinion of the insurer, after considering any
medical or other evidence that it considers to be relevant, that the member
is, and until attaining 60 years of age will continue to be, physically
or mentally incapable of engaging in, or working for reward in, any occupation
or work for which, in the opinion of the insurer, the member is suited to take
by education, training or experience or for which the member would be suited
as a result of retraining.
(4) In
subregulation (3) effect includes acquire or take by assignment.
