WORKPLACE INJURY MANAGEMENT AND WORKERS COMPENSATION ACT 1998 - SECT 43
Injury management programs
(1) An insurer must establish and maintain an injury management program and
must revise its injury management program from time to time or when the
Authority directs. An insurer must lodge a copy of its
injury management program, and any revised injury management program, with the
Authority.
(1A) Without limiting subsection (1), an insurer that is a scheme
agent must revise its injury management program when directed to do so by the
Nominal Insurer and lodge a copy of the revised program with the Nominal
Insurer.
(2) An insurer must give effect to its injury management program and
for that purpose must comply with the obligations imposed on the insurer by or
under the program.
(3) An insurer must take appropriate steps to ensure that
each employer who is insured by the insurer is made aware of the employer's
obligations under this Chapter and made and kept aware of the requirements of
the insurer's injury management program. This subsection does not apply to a
self-insurer.
(4) Within 3 working days after being notified of a
significant injury to a worker, the insurer must initiate action under the
insurer's injury management program and must (in accordance with that program)
make contact with the worker, the employer (except when the insurer is a
self-insurer) and (if appropriate and reasonably practicable) the worker's
treating doctor. A
"working day" is any day except a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday.
(5) An
employer must comply with the obligations imposed on the employer by or under
the insurer's injury management program. This subsection does not apply when
the employer is a self-insurer.
