WORKERS' COMPENSATION AND REHABILITATION REGULATION 2014 - REG 117T

Support plans

117T Support plans

(1) For section 232O (3) of the Act , this section prescribes requirements about an eligible worker’s support plan.
(2) The support plan must state—
(a) the name of the worker; and
(b) the outcomes of the assessment under section 232O (1) (a) of the Act ; and
(c) the matters stated in section 117K (2) , if known by the insurer; and
(d) any treatment, care and support needs resulting from the worker’s serious personal injury the insurer considers are necessary and reasonable in the circumstances; and
(e) any treatment, care or support resulting from any other injury resulting from the same event as the serious personal injury that the insurer considers is necessary and reasonable in the circumstances; and
(f) any other treatment, care or support for the serious personal injury, or any other injury resulting from the same event as the serious personal injury, the insurer agrees to, wholly or partly, pay for under chapter 4A of the Act , having regard to the following matters—
(i) whether the treatment, care or support is needed by the worker as a result of the injury;
(ii) whether it would be fair and reasonable in the circumstances for the insurer to pay for the treatment, care or support, wholly or partly;
(iii) whether providing the treatment, care or support will, or is likely to, reduce the worker’s treatment, care and support needs for the injury;
(iv) whether the insurer considers, wholly or partly, paying for the treatment, care or support is more practical or cost-effective than the insurer paying for the worker’s treatment, care and support needs for the injury, without compromising the level of treatment, care or support received by the worker under chapter 4A of the Act ;
(v) whether the treatment, care or support is excluded treatment, care or support;
(vi) where the treatment, care or support is to be provided, including, for example, whether the treatment, care or support is to be provided outside Australia; and
(g) the intervals at which an assessment under section 232O (1) (a) of the Act will be carried out for the worker.
(3) The support plan must be consistent with an existing decision on a service request relating to the worker.
(4) However, subsection (3) applies only to the extent the support plan relates to the period covered by the existing decision.
