Lifetime Care and Support (Catastrophic Injuries) LTCS Eligibility Disputes Guideline 2016
Disallowable instrument DI2016-166
made under the  
Lifetime Care and Support Act 2014, section 93 (LTCS Guidelines)
EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

This guideline supports the establishment of the National Injury Insurance Scheme for injured workers in the ACT.  The Lifetime Care and Support Scheme will as of 1 July 2016 provide lifetime treatment and care for people who suffer catastrophic injuries at work.  

This guideline remakes existing part 2 of the Lifetime Care and Support Guidelines to include references to work injuries, and other matters under the Workers Compensation Act 1951.  The intent of this instrument is to ensure that the existing process for disputing decisions of the LTCS Commissioner is applied unchanged to the new work injury scheme.
