Directions\n\nI direct that the Seacare Authority amend its Exemption Guidelines so that if workers’ compensation insurance is available to a relevant employer under a State or Territory scheme, at a cost lower than that available under the Seacare scheme, then this is a primary factor in determining an application for exemption under section 20A of the Seafarers Act.","sortOrder":0}],"analysis":{"kimi_summary":{"_metrics":{"model":"kimi-k2.5","source":"moonshot-batch","completionTokens":2440},"content_quality":"ok","complexity_score":2,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"The Directions remain precisely targeted at the administrative function of granting exemptions under section 20A, as authorised by section 107 of the enabling Act.
