6.The effect of the grant of the licence with most immediate direct impact on Comcare is, briefly, that:

  • RBA is responsible for the determination and payment of claims, reconsiderations and appeals in respect of an injury, loss or damage suffered by, or in respect of the death of, an RBA employee which occurred on or after the date of commencement of the licence;

  • Comcare remains responsible for the management of claims for injuries that occurred before the commencement of the licence.

7.The licence conditions stipulate that the Reserve Bank must delegate power to determine prior injury claims to Comcare, and also that the licence shall only apply in respect of claims made by employees of Reserve Bank, other than employees at Note Printing Australia.
