Section 294 — Injury Prevention, Rehabilitation, and Compensation Act 2001: Scope and purpose of sections 295 to 297

294 Scope and purpose of sections 295 to 297 (1) Sections 295 to 297 apply in any case where a claimant is receiving, or is entitled to receive, weekly compensation from an insurer (within the meaning of section 341(1) , but not including the Corporation) and suffers a personal injury covered by this Act after the commencement of this Part (the subsequent injury ). (2) The purpose of sections 295 to 297 is to— (a) ensure that the claimant receives all necessary and appropriate entitlements for the personal injury covered by this Act (the subsequent injury ) and the personal injury that gave rise to the entitlement to receive the weekly compensation (the previous injury ); and (b) ensure that those entitlements are provided without delay and, as appropriate, continuously; and (c) provide a framework within which the insurer and the Corporation can determine the responsibility to provide entitlements, both from the point of view of taking responsibility for the rehabilitation of the claimant and from a financial point of view; and (d) recognise that appropriate contributions depend on the extent to which each injury contributed to the need for the entitlements or some of them.
