12.8.2 Treatment under the SRCA and the MRCA

Where a claimant is entitled to the same treatment under both:

• subsection 16(1) of the SRCA; and
• reimbursement for treatment under Part 2 of Chapter 6 of the MRCA,

treatment should only be provided under the MRCA.  This will most commonly apply where a person has an aggravation of a SRCA condition accepted under the MRCA.

Please note, there is no legislative restriction on a claimant receiving compensation under subsection 16(1) of the SRCA and the same treatment with a White Repatriation Health Card under sections 279 or 280 of the MRCA.  Therefore, delegates are encouraged to determine that the reimbursement treatment path applies to the claimant under section 327.
