241: Compensation not assignable

You could also call this:

"You can't give or sell your compensation to others"

Illustration for Child Support Act 1991

You can't give away or sell your compensation to someone else. This is because the law says you're not allowed to transfer your compensation to another person. The government has made this change to the Accident Compensation Act 1982. This rule is now part of the Child Support Act 1991.
