It allows a specific company—Lindsay Brothers Management Pty Ltd—to apply for a special licence under the Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation Act 1988.\n\n**What this means:**\n- Normally, the Commonwealth workers' compensation scheme only covers government employees and certain authorised corporations.\n- This notice declares that Lindsay Brothers Management meets the criteria to join that scheme.\n- The company is eligible because it competes with a Commonwealth authority (or a former government body that has been privatised).\n\n**Why it matters:**\n- Without this notice, the company could not access the Commonwealth's workers' compensation system.\n- This allows the company's employees to receive Commonwealth-level rehabilitation and compensation benefits if injured at work, rather than being covered by state-based workers' compensation schemes."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/safety-rehabilitation-and-compensation-licence-eligibility-notice-2007-no-9","history":"/api/acts/safety-rehabilitation-and-compensation-licence-eligibility-notice-2007-no-9/history","analysis":"/api/acts/safety-rehabilitation-and-compensation-licence-eligibility-notice-2007-no-9/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/safety-rehabilitation-and-compensation-licence-eligibility-notice-2007-no-9/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/safety-rehabilitation-and-compensation-licence-eligibility-notice-2007-no-9/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/safety-rehabilitation-and-compensation-licence-eligibility-notice-2007-no-9/documents"}}
