Australian Capital Territory Consolidated Acts Australian Capital Territory Consolidated Acts(1) This section applies if a claim is deficient because section 118 (2) has not been complied with.
(2) If the insurer (or self-insurer) tells the worker in writing about the deficiency (including details of what is required to comply with section 118 (2)) as soon as possible (but in any case within 72 hours) after receiving the claim, the claim is not considered to have been made until section 118 (2) is complied with.
(3) However, if the insurer (or self-insurer) does not tell the worker in writing about the deficiency (including details of what is required to comply with section 118 (2)) within 72 hours after receiving the claim, the claim is taken to comply with section 118 (2).
(4) Subsection (2) does not apply if the insurer (or self-insurer) waives the requirement for the claim to comply with section 118 (2).
