112 Compliance by insurers, including DI fund (1) It is a condition of an insurer’s approval that the insurer must comply with the requirements of this chapter. (2) If, for this chapter, the insurer in relation to an injured worker’s injury is the DI fund, the DI fund manager must comply with the requirements of this chapter applying to the fund. (3) Without limiting subsection (2), the DI fund manager must comply with the requirements of this chapter applying to the DI fund as insurer in relation to an injured worker’s injury if the manager— (a) receives a copy of the injury notice for the worker in relation to the injury under section 94A (Uninsured employer to give DI fund manager injury notice etc), section 94B (Liquidator to give DI fund manager injury notice etc) or section 94C (Injured workers of uninsured employers may give DI fund manager injury notice); or (b) is otherwise satisfied that it is reasonably likely that there is no compulsory insurance policy in force that applies to the worker in relation to the injury. Melissa suffers a workplace injury while working for Joe. Joe does not have a compulsory insurance policy and gives the DI fund manager a copy of the injury notice. The DI fund manager must comply with the requirements of an insurer under this chapter in relation to Melissa’s injury.
