Part 9—Burn injuries
Mapped to max body part
• The ISV for a burn injury must be assessed having regard to the item of this Schedule that—
(a) relates to the part of the body affected by the burn injury; and
(b) is for an injury that has a similar level of adverse impact to the burn injury.
• Burns to the face must be assessed under the section on scarring to the face
• In burns cases, the ISV for an injury to a part of the body causing functional impairment will generally be at or near the top of the range for an injury to that part of the body
• In serious burns cases, the effects of scarring are more comprehensive and less able to be remedied than the effects of scarring from other causes.
