The 12th edition of the Annotated Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988 includes:

  • the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988 current at 1 February 2023;

  • annotations of Court and Tribunal decisions to 1 February 2023;

  • the current Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Regulations 2019 and Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Directions 2019.

The 12th edition will contain an up-to-date discussion of recent litigation concerning the SRC Act, including "injury" and "disease" following MRCC v May [2016] HCA 19 and Wuth v Comcare [2022] FCAFC 42, "reasonable administrative action taken in a reasonable manner", medical treatment, and construction of the approved Guide. It includes a list of all legislative instruments made under the SRC Act, including those regulating the coverage of licensees under the Scheme, and a Legislative Amendment History of the SRC Act.

The 12th edition will also contain a detailed consideration of military compensation under the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation (Defence-related Claims) Act 1988 (DRCA), which commenced on 12 October 2017. This will include commentary and annotation of decisions on elements of the DRCA which differ from the SRC Act, a list of legislative instruments made under the DRCA, and a DRCA Legislative Amendment History.

Canberra barrister, Allan Anforth AM, will contribute an updated Practitioner's Guide aimed at claimants and their representatives.
