Health, wage and scheme records stay in a firm-controlled tool. Check ASCR r 9, APP 11, and whether a disclosure is notifiable under the Privacy Act 1988 (Cth).
Section 39 deals with the insurer's response on rehabilitation funding, without admitting liability. Section 42 deals with private hospital, medical and pharmaceutical expenses after liability is admitted, and with treatment, care and support needs of a scheme participant. Neither section states how many weeks of income benefits can be paid. No week count is entered.
