Part VIII.—Schools of Instruction—Compensation.
Division 1.—Schools of Instruction.
Schools of Instructions.
(1) Schools of Instruction may be held from time to time for the instruction of masters and mistresses of schools in the courses of training prescribed for Junior Cadets.
(2) The syllabus and method of conducting these schools shall be as authorized by the Military Board.
Issue of certificates.
Certificates as specified in Military Orders will be issued to those who pass the tests authorized by the Military Board, whether they have attended a School of Instruction or prepared themselves by other means.
Approved expenditure.
(1) Railway warrants may be issued, or payment made for coach or steamer fares, if approved by the District Commandant concerned, to masters and mistresses of schools at which Junior Cadet training is prescribed in order to attend such schools or examinations.
(2) Payment may also he made for subsistence, medical examination of teachers attending, and incidentals in connexion with Schools of Instruction in Junior Cadet training, provided the condition laid down in sub-Regulation (1) of this Regulation is observed.
(3) The expenditure admitted under sub-Regulations (1) and. (2) of this Regulation is contingent on the necessary funds being made available by Parliament, and that the amount placed at the disposal of the District Commandants for this purpose is not exceeded.
Division 2.—Compensation for Injuries.
Compensation for injuries school teachers.
School teachers who may be injured, or temporarily incapacitated from resuming their calling in consequence of such injury, whilst in attendance at Schools of Instruction in Junior Cadet training in the performance of duty, may be compensated for any loss sustained thereby in salary or wages, but such compensation shall not in any case exceed an amount of 10s. per diem.
(a) Full particulars as to any injury must be communicated to the Commandant of the District within forty-eight (48) hours after its occurrence, otherwise claims will not be considered; and the Commandant shall thereupon direct a Medical Officer of the Australian Army Medical Corps, if possible, to report on the case. A Court of Inquiry shall be assembled to inquire into the circumstances of each case and submit its recommendation to the Commandant. The compensation shall be limited to the period during which the teacher shall be shown to have been wholly unable to follow his or her occupation and shall not be issuable for the day of the accident, or any Sunday, or for any period for which he or she has drawn his or her regular pay.
(b) Compensation shall not be allowed to a teacher in respect of any injury sustained whilst proceeding to the place of assembly, or whilst returning home after the dismissal of the school from duty.
(c) In cases in which an injury is not reported to the District Commandant within the limits of the time prescribed in paragraph (a) of this Regulation, and the Government is subsequently called upon to pay compensation in connexion with such injury, the amount so paid by the Government may be made a charge against the officer or soldier responsible for the neglect of duty in failing to report the injury.
(d) Applications for compensation shall be forwarded for the consideration of the Military Board, and must be supported by the following documents:—
(i) The proceedings of the Court of Inquiry (and Medical Board, if any), which reported on the case;
C.8754.—2
(ii) A certificate showing the period during which the teacher was unable to follow his or her calling. When, however, the injury is of so severe a nature as to incapacitate the teacher from following his or her employment for a period exceeding two months, a medical certificate showing the state of the case must be forwarded to the Commandant of the District at intervals of one month;
(iii) A certificate from the employer of the teacher showing the teacher's average weekly earnings, and that his or her pay has been stopped during the period for which compensation is claimed;
(iv) A report from the Medical Officer who attended the individual or examined him or her;
(v) A statement of all medical expenses that are recommended to be defrayed by the Government. Only Government rates for medical attendance in each State will be recognised;
(vi) All correspondence on the subject, including a certificate from the District Paymaster that the documents are in order and bearing the remarks and recommendations of the Commandant concerned;
(vii) No fees will be paid for certificates necessary to support claims for compensation under these regulations.
(e) Teachers may be treated in a private hospital on the distinct understanding that the Department will only be liable for the payment of fees which would have been charged had the patient been treated in a approved general hospital, except under very special circumstances, which must be approved by the Minister before any liability is incurred.
(f) A teacher may be required by the Principal Medical Officer of a Military District to go into a Military or Public Hospital for treatment. Should such teacher refuse to do so, the medical expenses otherwise incurred shall not be defrayed by the Government.
(g) The Director-General, Medical Services, shall report on each case submitted as above.
