Section sch.14-sec-oc.30
General comment The ISV for a burn injury must be assessed having regard to the item of this schedule that— relates to the part of the body affected by the burn injury; and is for an injury that has a similar level of adverse impact to the burn injury. Burns to the face must be assessed under part 3 , division 2 . 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.
