Australian Capital Territory Numbered Regulations

CORRECTIONS MANAGEMENT REGULATION 2010 (NO 52 OF 2010) - REG 45

    (1)     A medical referee's report for an application must state—

        (a)     the results of the referee's assessment of the injured person's injury; and

        (b)     if the referee's assessment differs from the medical evidence about the injured person's injury—

              (i)     how the assessment differs and why; and

              (ii)     why the referee's assessment is preferable; and

        (c)     if the referee considered it unnecessary to assess the injured person—why the referee did not consider it necessary.

Example—why assessment may differ

The medical evidence does not take into account relevant approved medical guidelines or clinically relevant research.

Note     An example is part of the regulation, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132).

    (2)     If there is no difference between the medical referee's assessment and the medical evidence, the report must say there is no difference.
