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)).
