It declares that **National Australia Bank Limited (NAB)** is eligible to apply for a special licence under the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988.\n\n**What this means:**\n- Normally, the federal government's workers' compensation scheme (Comcare) only covers Commonwealth government employees and certain authorised corporations.\n- This notice allows NAB to **opt into** the Comcare scheme by granting it a licence to self-insure under Part VIII of the Act.\n- Once licensed, NAB would handle its own workers' compensation claims for workplace injuries and illnesses, rather than using state-based workers' compensation schemes.\n\n**Why it matters:**\n- This gives NAB an alternative to state workers' compensation systems, potentially offering cost savings or administrative efficiencies.\n- It reflects a policy of allowing large corporations that compete with government businesses to access the federal scheme.\n- The note indicates NAB qualifies because it competes with a Commonwealth authority or a former government corporation."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/safety-rehabilitation-and-compensation-licence-eligibility-notice-2006-2","history":"/api/acts/safety-rehabilitation-and-compensation-licence-eligibility-notice-2006-2/history","analysis":"/api/acts/safety-rehabilitation-and-compensation-licence-eligibility-notice-2006-2/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/safety-rehabilitation-and-compensation-licence-eligibility-notice-2006-2/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/safety-rehabilitation-and-compensation-licence-eligibility-notice-2006-2/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/safety-rehabilitation-and-compensation-licence-eligibility-notice-2006-2/documents"}}
