Likelihood of Reduction in Degree of Impairment

Comcare shall have regard to medical opinion concerning the nature and effect (including possible effect) of the injury and the extent (if any) to which impairment resulting from the injury or non-economic loss resulting from the injury or impairment, may reasonably be capable of being reduced or removed. In particular, regard shall be had to an employee's unreasonable failure or refusal to act in accordance with medical advice or to submit to medical treatment which would reduce the degree of impairment.
