respect to Partial and Permanent Disability.
4.3 Subject only to
subclause 4.1, 4.4 and 4.5 this award applies to all police officers employed
on or after 23 June 2005. Police
officers must have been at work on or after that date performing normal duties
for a continuous period of not less than 30 days to be eligible for benefits
payable under this award in respect to pre-existing injuries or diseases.
Transitional Arrangements
These arrangements also apply to officers at work on 23
June 2005 who are participating in an agreed return to work program or who return
to work after that date and participate in an agreed return to work program.
4.4 Police officers
who have suffered an on duty injury and who are making genuine efforts to

remuneration that the police officer would have received in the event that no
salary sacrifice had been applicable.

of this sub-clause are subject to the State Authorities Superannuation Act
1987 or Regulations being amended so as to permit police officers who are
contributors to SASS and who contribute for additional benefit cover to elect,

that additional benefit cover. A police officer who is a contributor to SASS
and who contributes for additional benefit cover shall make an election as
provided for by this clause in the time frame specified by the amendments to
the Act or Regulations.
5.8 In the event
that an officer dies or is medically exited prior to having had an opportunity
to make an election pursuant to this sub clause he/she shall be entitled to be
paid the benefits pursuant to this award less any benefit payable under the
additional benefit cover from SASS.

on any form of leave without pay shall continue to be covered by this Award and
shall be required to make the contributions that he/she would otherwise have

9. Rehabilitation,
Retraining and Lump Sum Payments for Police Officers Who Suffer Partial and
Permanent Disability
9.1 The lump sum
payments prescribed by this clause are payable by NSW Police. In order to be entitled
to a benefit pursuant to this Clause, a police officer must satisfy the
obligations outlined within this Clause.
9.2 There is a
mutual obligation on both the employer and injured officer to identify suitable
police positions for redeployment. However,
it is the injured officer’s responsibility to accept a reasonable offer of a
suitable police position made by the employer, which may include transfer to
another location. A failure to accept one of three (3) reasonable offers as per
the Permanent Restricted Duties Policy of a suitable police position will
jeopardize any benefits or entitlements payable under this Award and may result
in medical discharge.
9.3 A police officer
who suffers an on duty injury shall receive rehabilitation/retraining consistent
with agreed policies leading to a return to pre-injury employment wherever
possible.
9.3.1 Where a return to
pre-injury employment is not possible, as determined by HealthQuest, or other
medical assessor agreed by the parties, the officer will be considered to be
suffering a partial and permanent disability and opportunities for placement in
a suitable police position or as a permanent restricted duties police officer
will be sought. At the same time, the
police officer, with their consent, will be considered for redeployment to an
administrative officer position.
9.3.2 If placement in a
police position within the NSW Police is not possible and redeployment to an
administrative officer position is not agreed to by the officer, the employment
of the police officer may be terminated.
In such circumstances the police officer, provided they have satisfied their mutual obligations, shall be
paid a lump sum payment in accordance with Annexure B to this Award.
9.4 A police officer
who suffers an off duty injury shall receive rehabilitation/retraining
consistent with agreed policies, leading to a return to pre-injury employment
wherever possible. No direct medical or
rehabilitation costs will be met by NSW Police for off duty injuries
9.4.1 Where a return to
pre-injury employment is not possible as determined by HealthQuest, or other
medical assessor agreed by the parties, the officer will be considered to be
suffering a partial and permanent disability and opportunities for placement in
a suitable police position or as a permanent restricted duties police officer
will be sought. At the same time, the
police officer, with their consent, will be considered for redeployment to an
administrative officer position.
9.4.2 If placement in a
police position is not possible and redeployment to an administrative officer
position within the NSW Police is not agreed to by the officer, the employment
of the police officer may be terminated and, in such circumstances, the police
officer shall be paid a lump sum payment equivalent to the unexpired portion of
the two years full salary or full salary to age 60 (whichever is the
lesser). The two year period commences
when medical evidence indicates that an officer is not able to return to their
pre-injury employment.
9.5 The objective of
the rehabilitation/retraining program creates mutual obligations, which is for
every police officer who suffers partial and permanent disability to be placed
in a suitable police position within NSW Police, wherever reasonably practical.
9.6 An adequate
opportunity will be given to the police officer concerned and the Association
(unless the police officer expressly declines to agree to the Association being
informed) to consider the NSW Police opinion that no suitable position is
available and to put that opinion into dispute in accordance with the dispute
resolution clause of this Award prior to medical discharge.
10. Insurance and
Assessment of Entitlement to Benefits
10.1 The Association
acknowledges that NSW Police will establish, with First State Super, an
insurance scheme to pay the lump sum benefits prescribed by clauses 7 and 8 of
this Award (the First State Super insurance scheme).
10.2 NSW Police shall
deduct the contributions that police officers are required or elect to make
pursuant to this clause from their salaries.
10.3 NSW Police shall
contribute to First State Super such sum as required to meet the cost of the
insurance premiums to fund the First State Super insurance scheme.
10.4 NSW Police shall meet
the cost of benefits payable under this Award for Partial and Permanent
Disability.
10.5 NSW Police will
also meet the entitlement pursuant to Clause 7 and Clause 8 for death and total
and permanent disablement benefits in the following circumstances:
10.5.1 Injuries or death
in the period 23 June 2005 to 1 July 2005;
10.5.2 Members covered by
the Transitional Arrangements in Clause
4;
10.5.3 Where a police
officer suffers an on-duty injury which is recognized for the purposes of
workers compensation law and where such injury is later aggravated or
exacerbated off-duty and such injury is not covered by the insurer as being an
on-duty injury; and
10.5.4 On duty overseas
deployments to countries not covered by the insurer, pursuant to Clause 7 only.
10.6 Members can only
receive one benefit either a "partial and permanent disability
benefit" or "total and permanent disablement benefit". Receiving a "partial and permanent
disability benefit" or "total and permanent disablement benefit"
discharges the liability of the alternative party for the relevant benefit
payable. If a Special Risk Benefit under section 216 of the Police Act 1990
is payable to a police officer that officer is not entitled to a benefit under
this award. Police officers will be required, prior to the receipt of a
benefit, to enter into a Deed of Repayment that is in terms agreed between the
Parties.
10.7 Entitlement to
the benefits to be provided by NSW Police pursuant to this Award shall be
assessed by NSW Police. Any dispute as
to the entitlement of a police officer to receive a benefit under the terms of
this award (whether lump sum entitlement or otherwise) may be referred to the
Industrial Relations Commission of New South Wales for determination.
10.8 Entitlement to
receive a lump sum benefit from the First State Super insurance scheme shall be
assessed in accordance with the terms of the First State Super Trust Deed and
Policy Document. Any dispute will be
assessed in accordance with the First State Super Disputes and Complaints
procedure. This includes if unresolved
by internal processes, any dispute as to entitlement to receive a lump sum
payment from the First State Super insurance scheme the matter may be referred
to the Industrial Relations Commission of NSW for final determination.
10.9 Lump sum benefits
payable under this Award shall be calculated utilising the salary as defined in
this Award as at the date of disablement for a total and permanent disablement
benefit or the police officer’s last day of service for a partial and permanent
disability benefit. In the case of police officers who have worked a period of
their service on a part time basis, the benefits will be calculated by
multiplying their full time equivalent salary by a part time ratio. This ratio shall be calculated by dividing
the full time equivalent service by the officer’s actual service since 23 June
2005.
10.10 A police officer
otherwise entitled to benefits provided by this Award shall not be entitled to
such benefits in relation to an injury (or consequent disability) directly
caused by the taking of disciplinary action pursuant to section 181D or section
80 of the Police Act 1990, as amended, that may lead to removal from NSW
Police. However, if:
10.10.1 the
initiation of or conduct of such disciplinary action by NSW Police was not
reasonable; or
10.10.2 the
police officer is not ultimately removed from NSW Police as a consequence of
the disciplinary action, then the police officer shall continue to be eligible
to claim benefits for such injury.
PART C
WELLCHECK PROGRAM
11. Wellcheck Program
11.1 The parties agree
to develop and implement a WellCheck Program.
11.2 The WellCheck
Program will apply to all police officers with no distinction based upon rank within
identified specialist areas.
PART D
GRIEVANCE
MECHANISM, ANTI-DISCRIMINATION, LEAVE RESERVED AND AREA, INCIDENCE, DURATION
AND PARTIES BOUND
12. Grievance
Mechanism
12.1 The objective of
the dispute and grievance clause is the efficient and cost effective resolution
of disputes over the operation of the Award, and the avoidance of costly
recovery proceedings where appropriate.
12.2 Where a dispute
or grievance arises in relation to the operation of the Award the police
officer, Association, or NSW Police will notify the other Party in writing of
the dispute or grievance (including the identification of the remedy sought)
and request an urgent meeting to discuss the dispute or grievance.
12.3 A meeting of the
NSW Police, the Association and the police officer (or their representative)
should be held within five business days wherever reasonably practicable.
12.4 At the conclusion
of the meeting, the respondent/s to the notification shall provide a written
response to the grievance, including the reasons for not implementing the
remedy sought by the notifier.
12.5 Any dispute
arising under or regarding the application of this Award may be referred to the
Industrial Relations Commission of New South Wales for determination. Neither
party shall refer an industrial dispute under Chapter 3 of the Industrial
Relations Act 1996 to the Industrial Relations Commission without first
having given the respondent at least three business days' notice.
12.6 Nothing in this
clause shall operate to prevent a party availing themselves of any rights
available under the Industrial Relations Act 1996 other than as
reflected in Clause 12.5.
13.
Anti-Discrimination
13.1 It is the
intention of the parties bound by this Award to seek to achieve the object in section
3(f) of the Industrial Relations Act 1996 to prevent and eliminate
discrimination in the workplace. This
includes discrimination on the grounds of race, sex, marital status,
disability, homosexuality, transgender identity, age and responsibilities as a
carer.
13.2 It follows that
in fulfilling their obligations under clause 12 of this Award the parties have
obligations to take all reasonable steps to ensure that the operation of the
provisions of this Award are not directly or indirectly discriminatory in their
effects. It will be consistent with the
fulfilment of these obligations for the parties to make an application to vary
any provision of this Award, which by its terms or operation, has direct or
indirect discriminatory effect.
13.3 Under the Anti-Discrimination
Act 1977, it is unlawful to victimise an employee because the employee has
made or may make or has been involved in a complaint of unlawful discrimination
or harassment.
13.4 Nothing in this
clause is taken to affect any conduct or act which is specifically exempted
from anti-discrimination legislation; offering or providing junior rates of pay
to persons under 21 years of age; any act or practice of a body established to
propagate religion which is exempted under section 56(d) of the Anti-Discrimination
Act 1977; and/or a party to this Award from pursuing matters of unlawful
discrimination in any State or Federal jurisdiction.
13.5 This clause does
not create legal rights or obligations in addition to those imposed upon the
parties by legislation referred to in this clause.
14. Award Review
14.1 There will be an
actuarial review at the completion of 3 years and each 3 years thereafter.
14.2 The benefits
provided under this Award are based on actuarial estimates with the long term
cost to Government being 3.6% of salaries as defined by this Award. If the results of the triennial actuarial
review referred to above or if in any 12 months period:
14.2.1 the insurance
premium quoted for the next 12 months, and/or
14.2.2 the claims experience
of the preceding 12 months.
are such that, in the opinion of the actuary, the long
term cost to the Government is likely to exceed 3.6% of salaries, there will be
an immediate review of the benefits and/or officer contributions of the scheme.
15. Leave Reserved
15.1 Leave is Reserved
to the Parties Generally to Apply as They May be Advised in Respect of Any
Adjustment under Commonwealth Legislation Governing Superannuation which Alters
Preservation Rights at Age 60 Or in the Event that Any Legislative Change
Necessary for the Implementation of This Award Does Not Occur.
15.2 Leave is reserved
to the parties generally to apply as they may be advised in respect to the
implementation of a compulsory Health and Fitness Program applying to all police
officers with no distinction based upon rank.
15.3 Leave is reserved
to the parties to apply as they may with respect to coverage where police
officers contribute to NSW Government subsidised superannuation schemes which includes
commensurate levels of benefits for death and permanent disability.
15.4 Leave is reserved
to the parties to apply as they may with respect to the development of a review
mechanism where for the purpose of subclause 10.7 a dispute arises as to the
entitlement of a police officer. Such a
review mechanism will require the formulation and adoption of any procedures
and mechanisms considered appropriate for dealing with, and determining any
dispute which may arise, so as to allow and provide for the speedy, efficient,
and most cost effective means of resolving any such dispute.
16. Area, Incidence,
Duration and Parties Bound

apply to all police officers as defined in clause 3, Definitions, who are
employed by NSW Police.
16.2 This Award shall
be binding upon the Association and NSW Police.

made following a review under section 19 of the Industrial Relations Act 1996
and rescinds and replaces the Crown Employees (Police Officers Death and
Disability) Award 2005 published 10 March 2006 (357 I.G. 959), as varied.
