Accident Compensation Act 2001

Miscellaneous provisions - Regulation-making powers

330: Consultation requirements for regulations relating to classifications, risk rating, or treatment injury

You could also call this:

“Rules about accidents and injuries need input from experts first”

If the Minister wants to make rules about classifications, risk rating, or treatment injury, they need to talk to certain people first. These rules are part of a law called the Accident Compensation Act 2001.

Before the Minister can suggest any changes to these rules, they have to ask for opinions from people or groups who know about the subject. The Minister gets to decide who these people or groups should be, based on what the new rules are about.

This requirement applies to specific parts of the law, which are listed by their section numbers. It also applies to any rules about the Treatment Injury Account.

The Minister has to do this talking and asking for opinions to make sure the new rules are fair and make sense to everyone who might be affected by them.
