It therefore changes which employer and workers can fall under the Act’s licensing regime for a fixed period (note: Ventia competes with a Commonwealth or formerly-Commonwealth authority)."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/safety-rehabilitation-and-compensation-licence-eligibility-ventia-australia-pty-ltd-declaration-2022","history":"/api/acts/safety-rehabilitation-and-compensation-licence-eligibility-ventia-australia-pty-ltd-declaration-2022/history","analysis":"/api/acts/safety-rehabilitation-and-compensation-licence-eligibility-ventia-australia-pty-ltd-declaration-2022/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/safety-rehabilitation-and-compensation-licence-eligibility-ventia-australia-pty-ltd-declaration-2022/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/safety-rehabilitation-and-compensation-licence-eligibility-ventia-australia-pty-ltd-declaration-2022/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/safety-rehabilitation-and-compensation-licence-eligibility-ventia-australia-pty-ltd-declaration-2022/documents"}}
