The applicant claims weekly compensation from 25 June 2025 to date and continuing pursuant to s 37 of the 1987 Act as well as medical and treatment expenses pursuant to s 60 of the 1987 Act.
The parties agreed the applicant's unindexed pre-injury average weekly earnings (PIAWE) at $1,175.58.
The respondent concedes that the applicant has had since 25 June 2025 no current work capacity and that she continues to have no current work capacity and that in the event that liability is found in favour of the applicant then the applicant is entitled to weekly compensation on the basis of there being no current work capacity and a general order in respect to medical and treatment expenses pursuant to s 60 of the 1987 Act.
On the basis of no current work capacity the applicant is entitled to weekly compensation pursuant to s 37 of the 1987 Act at 80% of her PIAWE as indexed.
There will also be an award in that the respondent pay pursuant to s 60 of the 1987 Act the applicant's reasonably necessary medical and treatment expenses for psychological injury sustained on the deemed date of 6 March 2025.
