The Victorian Workplace Injury Rehabilitation and Compensation Act compared to the Accident Compensation Act

The Victorian Workplace Injury Rehabilitation and Compensation Act compared to the Accident Compensation Act

April 6, 2016

The Workplace Injury Rehabilitation and Compensation Act (the WIRC Act) recasts the Accident Compensation Act 1985 ( the ACA Act) and the Accident Compensation (WorkCover Insurance) Act 1983 (ACWI Act) into a single Act that is simpler and easier to use.

This link gives you a table that indicates where the provisions of the Accident Compensation Act 1985 can be found in the Workplace Injury Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 2013 that became operational on 1 July 2014.

Of particular significance is section 91 (6) in the ACA Act that has been replaced with Section 64 (a) and (b) with regard to psychiatric impairment assessment.
