WORKERS REHABILITATION AND COMPENSATION ACT REVIEW

385 The Hon. I.F. EVANS (Davenport) (15 November 2011) (First Session).

1. Does the WRCA 1986 state under section 54(1) that 'no liability attaches to an employer in respect of a compensable disability arising from employment by that employer except a liability under this Act'?

2. Does the WRCA 1986 state that 'the worker is only entitled to a compensable disability claim against his employer under the Act'?

3. Does the WRCA 1986 define contract of service under which one person (the worker) is employed by another (the employer)?

4. Is a worker entitled under the WRCA 1986 to a compensable disability claim against someone who is not his employer?

The Hon. J.R. RAU (Enfield—Deputy Premier, Attorney-General, Minister for Planning, Minister for Business Services and Consumers): The Attorney-General has been advised that these questions do not apply to the Attorney-General's Department.
