83 No compensation while imprisoned
A worker who is otherwise entitled to compensation under this Act is
not entitled to compensation for a period when the worker is
imprisoned because the worker has been convicted of an offence
against a law of the Territory, a State, the Commonwealth or another
Territory.
Note 1 A worker with an injury to which the LTCS Act applies is eligible to
participate in the LTCS scheme even though the worker is imprisoned
(see LTCS Act, s 15 (3)).
